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.

Your support makes all the difference.

Anglia Ruskin University is largely unknown to the British public, partly because it changed its name but also because it has not made an impact nationally. Now that much of its campus is being rebuilt, like many other universities around the country, and that its plan to open centres in towns all over the east of England is nearing fruition, it is gaining in confidence. If it can really begin to emulate a university like Penn State in the US - and provide high-quality courses of all kinds to the people of Cambridgeshire, Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk - it will leave a lasting legacy.
