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.

Refuge, the world's first refuge for battered women and children, founded in 1971, is launching its first cinema advertising campaign. The one-minute commercial, directed by the BAFTA award winning Richard Spence, will be seen by movie goers across the UK in over 200 Warner Brothers cinemas. Refuge says the ad has been made to increase both funding and public awareness "of the frightening prevalence of abuse against women". The launch for the ad yesterday was attended by Sandra Maitland and Tiffany Chapman, otherwise known as Brookside's Mandy and Rachel Jordache, due either to go down or be let off in tonight's episode for the murder of the wife- beating, child-abusing Trevor.
