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 furniture chain Allied was found guilty yesterday of five charges of placing misleading advertisements between last December and March this year. Magistrates in Reading, Berkshire, were told branches raised prices by 25 per cent and more ahead of a sale which promised 25 per cent off everything. Allied was fined pounds 3,250 under the Consumer Protection Act 1987 and ordered to pay pounds 2,232 costs.
