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.

The Old Bailey was told that Trevor Thomas, 50, of Barking, east London, suffered severe stress after attending the bombing in April 1992. One of the victims, a girl aged 15, died in his arms.
Five months afterwards, he shot Susan Oliver, 37, when she told him she was planning to end their 11-year relationship. His plea of guilty to manslaughter was accepted.
