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.

A FRESH inquiry was launched yesterday into the head teacher who refused to let her pupils see Romeo and Juliet, because she thought it too heterosexual. Leaders at Hackney council, east London, are investigating the relationship between the teacher, Jane Brown, and a former chairman of the school governors with whom she shares a house. They are looking at whether there was a conflict of interests when Ms Brown was appointed head of Kingsmead primary school.
