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.

New research from two psychologists at Royal Holloway, University of London, shows that students experiencing financial difficulty at university are more likely to be depressed than those who are not. Common sense, you might say. Who wouldn't feel blue if they had run up a big overdraft at the bank as well as the student- loan debt? The big question is how to get young people to manage their finances better. There is plenty of anecdotal evidence to suggest that some students are not careful enough with their money, and that peer-group pressure and interest-free overdrafts encourage them to splash out unduly. How about tutorials in personal finance?
