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.

Members of a Pagan group urged peers to agree that pounds 6m should be spent adjusting the Channel Tunnel Rail Link route to safeguard an ancient and spiritual site. Representatives of the Odinic Rite appeared before a House of Lords committee to plead for a tunnel on the route to be lengthened by 340m to preserve the peace and sanctity of the White Horse Stone.

The landmark, near Sandling, near Maidstone in Kent, is thought to be the site of the Battle of Aylesford in AD 455, which gave birth to Kent, the first English kingdom.
