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.

Calls by Amnesty International to arrest George W Bush on torture charges have been dismissed by the Zambian government.

The former US President has been touring Africa with his wife and daughter to raise awareness of cervical and breast cancer. They ended their visit to Zambia on Saturday.

The Foreign Affairs Minister, Chishimba Kambwili, said Zambia would have considered the request only if it had come from the International Criminal Court acting on behalf of the United Nations. AP
