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.

Anti-nuclear protesters attacked a convoy of nuclear warhead carriers with red paint to highlight the dangers of moving the weapons around Britain. Five vehicles carrying Trident warheads from Berkshire to Scotland were blockaded by three CND members as they stopped for lunch at RAF Leeming in Yorkshire.

The protesters, all women, walked into the path of the vehicles on a minor road and sprayed the cab of one of the carriers with red gloss paint, delaying the convoy by up to two hours. A spokesman for the Ministry of Defence said: "We take no notice of CND protests."
