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.

The jury in the trial in Portland, Oregon, of two British women accused of helping to plot the assassination 10 years ago of the State Federal Attorney when they were followers of the late Indian guru, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, is expected to retire to consider its verdict today.

The defence team of Sally-Anne Croft and Susan Hagan is to present closing arguments after stunning the court last Thursday by calling only one defence witness.
