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 first Bible computer program for the physically and visually disabled will be launched this week. The software, called Luke's Story, is available from the Bible Society. The idea came from a severely disabled young girl who wanted to help people unable to read a conventional book to study the Bible unassisted. The society says the program can be directed by speech synthesisers, Braille machines or switching systems operated by a touch from different parts of the body.
