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.

CARS stranded on a crumbling road after a landslip, triggered by torrential rain, at Blackgang Chine, west of Ventnor, on the Isle of Wight yesterday. Nine hippies living near by in a former nudist campsite on the edge of the 100ft cliff were refusing to move, despite police warnings that they were in 'grave danger'. One empty caravan and two cars had careered down the cliff and five homes were perched on the edge. Residents said that it look like an 'earthquake zone'.
