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.

You may feel bombarded with information regarding today's election, with countless politicians, journalists, family and friends telling you that this election is the most important in a generation.

Yet while you may understand not just the importance of the 2015 election but the democratic imperative to vote, the choice between all the parties may not appear that clear.

Will voting Labour or Conservative really change the face of the country, as the leaders would have you believe? What does it mean to support the Liberal Democrats, especially after five years of coalition government? Aside from leaving the European Union and curbing immigration, what does Ukip actually stand for? Is voting Green only worthwhile in Brighton? And is the Scottish National Party really a major worry for voters in the rest of the UK?

Before you vote today between the hours of 7am and 10pm, why don't you watch The Independent's one-minute manifestos? They detail the key policies from all of the main UK parties: Labour, Conservative, Lib Dem, Ukip, Green and SNP.
