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.

A man who took part in the vicious assault on a doctor who complained about cigarette smoking at a tube station was sent to a mental hospital indefinitely yesterday.

Dr Jonathan France, 26, had his life and career blighted following the attack by Nasser Boudali, 33, and Abeey Dikes, Snaresbrook Crown Court in east London heard. Dr France was off work for nearly a year after the attack. Last year Dikes, an Algerian asylum seeker, was jailed for his part in the attack in September 1994.
