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.

How lovely our country is. People are so quick to criticise, without noticing how great the country really is.
The most surprising thing that happened to me ...
Was discovering I like children. I was always more interested in having a dog.
A common misperception of me is ...
That I'm very laid back. The truth is I was nicely brought up and taught not to show my rage even though it was building up inside. My New Year's resolution is to show everyone just how cross I can get.
