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 HYPE surrounding August's eclipse in Cornwall has backfired, it emerged last night. Fears of gridlock and inflated prices have meant that holiday bookings in the county have fallen to an all-time low.
Farmers who set up campsites to cope with hundreds of thousands of visitors have had no bookings, and hotel rooms remain empty for 11 August, the date of the first total eclipse on the UK mainland since 1927.
