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.

The gay rights group Outrage! is to challenge 20 allegedly homophobic MPs to watch gay sex videos to check whether they have latent homosexual feelings.
Peter Tatchell, the group's spokesman, said research by Professor Henry Adams of the University of Georgia showed that 80 per cent of men who said they were exclusively heterosexual were sexually aroused by homoerotic imagery. Outrage! has written to the MPs, who voted against liberalising homosexuality laws in 1994, inviting them to undergo Professor Adams' test. The campaigners claim the professor's findings support theories that homophobia is often indicative of repressed homosexual feelings. Louise Jury
