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.

Three police officers were injured yesterday when a minor traffic incident turned into a mini-riot outside a leisure centre in Gloucester. Six people were arrested on public order, assault and wounding offences as 100 youths turned on police in the incident at 3am.

One woman officer was knocked unconscious and another two PCs suffered head injuries. Police said the trouble began when a youth was questioned about a traffic offence.
