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.

A great new magazine idea from Mind Candy – as the creators of the Moshi Monsters children's brand, already one of Britain's most successful tech companies.
Poppet is aimed at seven- to 10-year-old girls and uses a Moshi-style cartoon formula to educate young readers on the opportunities of a career in technology. Each issue of the monthly £2.99 publication will include a feature looking at different roles in the sector, such as developers, product managers and coders.
"We felt that there was a gap in the market when it came to educating young girls about the tech world," says the editor, Jessica King. "The tech industry has long been seen as a man's world and something that is 'not for girls' but we completely disagree with that notion."
Countering gender stereotyping in the careers market is highly welcome. It's a pity that Poppet's very pink look somewhat undermines its own attempt to do so.
