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.

A GANG of about 15 people, all but three of them teenage girls, was being hunted by the police last night after a man was beaten and stabbed to death on a housing estate.

Stephen Mills, 35, was assaulted and then chased by the mob on the Monsall estate in north Manchester before being repeatedly punched and kicked in the head by a man. The incident started at about 9.30pm on Wednesday, when a gang of people started banging on the rear window and door of Mr Mills' house in the Monsall estate in the north of the city. Mr Mills fled to his sister's home but later returned home. While walking back to his house he was attacked. Police said yesterday they were baffled about the motive for the murder. Anyone with information should contact the police on 0800 555 111.
