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 new mission statement for the Coalition may be set out in July in an attempt to allay fears that the Government is running out of steam.

Conservative and Liberal Democrat ministers and advisers are discussing a proposal to update the Coalition Agreement to highlight its proposals for the second half of its planned five-year term. The exercise has been dubbed "Coalition 2.0".

Senior Liberal Democrats insisted that the move would not distract from Nick Clegg's determination to highlight differences with the Tories on issues such as a wealth tax to show that his party had not lost its separate identity. "We can do both," one said.
