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.

METEOROLOGICAL experts are predicting a repeat of the violent hurricanes that caused so much damage last year.

The latest forecast from Colorado State University for the Atlantic-Caribbean storm season, which runs from 1 June to 30 November, warns of 14 tropical storms, nine of them growing to hurricane strength. Four of the nine will become intense, with wind speeds of at least 110 mph.
