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.

The West Midlands police car was following a stolen Ford Escort in Oldbury, near Dudley, shortly after midnight, when it collided with another car, a white Vauxhall Nova, at a road junction.
Neil Homer, from Oldbury, who was driving the Vauxhall, and Constable Robert Dallow, 41, who was in the passenger seat of the police car, were both killed. Lezlie Collins, 42, the driver of the police car, was treated in hospital for minor injuries and later discharged.
