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.TWO AUSTRIAN climbers have been stranded since Tuesday on Mont Blanc where heavy winds and snowfall have prevented their rescue.
Police said yesterday that the climbers first contacted them by radio from the Vallot refuge at an altitude of 4,300m (14,100ft). The bad weather and the high risk of avalanches have so far prevented rescue either by foot or helicopter.
