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.

More than 300 people are taking part this weekend in a political exercise which organisers claim will result in "the most sophisticated poll of voters' opinions in the entire election" People from all over Britain are in Manchester preparing to quiz senior politicians from the main parties They will put their questions to the politicians and the experience will be broadcast tonight on Channel 4 as a Power and the People programme, presented by Sheena McDonald
