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.

TUC: Energy supplier under attack

UNION ENERGY, the TUC's own energy supply company, was attacked by Unison, the Fire Brigade Union and the National Union of Journalists as an example of "collusion" with the privatised electricity company. However, the company, which works with Scottish Power to offer cut-price energy to 5 million union members, shrugged off the criticism and announced that it was marking deregulation of the domestic electricity market with a pledge to give customers the first single bill for gas and electricity.
