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.

As the general election approaches next week millions of British people will be heading to the ballot box to vote for the next government, following Theresa May’s decision to call a snap election.

If you’re unsure where, or even who to vote for then you can use the Democratic Dashboard tool (below) that allows you to input your postcode and find instant details on the candidates in your area.

You will then be able to find easy to access data on the winner of the 2015 general election, other candidates in the area and which parties are fielding a parliamentary candidate.

You can also see the result of last year’s EU referendum and the vote share each party had at the last election – meaning you will be able to see whether your constituency is a safe seat or a marginal.

The tool is a project of the Democratic Audit, based in the London School of Economics, and was created in 2015. In the run up to the last election more 200,000 people used the tool to find information about the election in the area.
