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.

Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams admitted yesterday that he had no desire to die - or kill - for Ireland.

He also admitted that his first sexual fumblings were with Protestant girls who lived near his Ballymurphy home in Belfast.

Mr Adams, 46, was interviewed by Professor Anthony Clare for a Scottish Television series to be broadcast on ITV. Prof Clare asked repeatedly how Mr Adams felt about the use of violence and he replied: "I think any sensible person must be both intellectually and emotionally against being involved or a player in violence."
