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.

Watch as mourners hold a vigil for the victims of the Nottingham attacks on Thursday 15 June.

Police have confirmed three people were killed and another three injured in connected attacks on Tuesday morning.

Two of the victims, Barnaby Webber and Grace Kumar, were students at the University of Nottingham.

Both 19-year-olds were found dead in Ilkeston Road shortly after 4am.

A third man, Ian Coates, 65, was found dead with stab wounds on Magdala Road.

Police have also revealed that the suspect in the knife and van attack studied at the same university as two of the victims.

It is understood the suspect studied mechanics at the university and graduated in 2022, the year before the two victims started.
