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.

MORE than half of Britain's workers want more say over their working hours to help them balance jobs and family life, a poll showed today. More than half of the 820 people surveyed by the TUC said they would be happier and more productive if they had flexitime or other forms of flexible working. Nearly two out of five people said that they worked unsocial hours such as nights or weekends - more than twice as many as in the Netherlands, which the TUC used as a comparison.
