Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Most crimes involve theft of personal property in public areas, or burglary from cars or residences. However, travellers, especially those who appear affluent, can become targets of pickpockets and bag-snatchers. Hotel breakfast rooms and lobbies, in particular, attract professional, well-dressed thieves who blend in with guests.
The maximum speed limit in Sweden is 110km per hour (65mph). Laws, especially those concerning speeding and driving under the influence of alcohol, are strictly enforced, and fines can be severe.
Penalties for possession, use, or trafficking in illegal drugs in Sweden are high, and convicted offenders can expect jail sentences and fines.
