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.There are 24 hours left for people who want to vote in the Labour leadership election to sign up to do so.
It costs £3 to sign up as a supporter, a scheme established by the party to allow a broader section of the electorate to vote.
This is separate from joining the party as a member but allows you to vote for its leader.
Only people who sign up before Wednesday 12 August are elegible to vote.
Anyone who wants to sign up can do so HERE.
Those who sign up must agree that they support the aims and values of the Labour party.
The deadline comes as a YouGov poll released on Monday night showed Jeremy Corbyn with a huge lead over his opponents.
According to a breakdown in the poll, many people from outside the party have been inspired to sign up in order to vote for him - though he also has a large lead with existing members.
But figures in the party establishment have warned against voting for Mr Corbyn.
Former PM Tony Blair said last month the left-winger's politics were "the Tory preference" while Alastair Campbell called for people to sign up specifically to vote against him.
Voting will begin this weekend for all registered supporters and members; it will be possible to vote online.
Registering as a supporter also allows you to vote in the deputy leadership contest and, for Londoners, the London mayoral election contest.
The results of the ballot will be announced at a special conference in September.
