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.

Meet the new board director at media mogul Barry Diller's IAC/Interactive, the websites company behind The Daily Beast and Match.com. Mr Diller told shareholders last night that Ms Clinton had been hired as a non-executive director, a role that normally pays around $250,000 in IAC shares.
Ms Clinton is currently combining her doctoral thesis with work at the Clinton Global Initiative, the philanthropic powerhouse founded by her father, the former US president Bill Clinton. She is also on the board of the School of American Ballet, Common Sense Media and the Weill Cornell Medical College.
Mr Diller, a former head of the movie studio Paramount, is one of New York's most powerful media bosses, having built IAC into a trophy internet company. Michael Eisner, the former head of Disney, and Edgar Bronfman Jr, who runs the record label Warner Music, are also on the board.
