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.

Watch as Nicola Sturgeon delivers a speech at London’s RSA House during her final public event as Scotland’s first minister.

Ms Sturgeon announced on 15 February that she was resigning from the role as leader of the Scottish National Party after more than eight years.

While she is remaining in office until her successor was elected, she said last month she knew “in my head and in my heart” that it was the right time to step down.

Ms Sturgeon used her keynote speech at the Royal Society of Arts on Monday (20 March) to reflect on her time as Scotland’s first minister, and outline some of the leadership lessons she has learned.

Her speech was followed by an audience Q&A session.
