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.

The man wanted for questioning about the murder of Rachel Nickell has postponed a meeting with Scotland Yard detectives in New Zealand after contacting his lawyer.

The hold-up follows a series of strong denials by John Gallagher that he was involved in the killing. Mr Gallagher, 31, a barman, was alleged by a woman living near Wimbledon Common, in south-west London, to have had a blood- stained shirt on the day of the murder in July 1992.
