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.

Voting is hot, voting is cool and voting is sexy. That is the message from Sean Combs, the rap impresario and fashion mogul who is heading a campaign in America to encourage more young people and minorities to vote in this November's Presidential election.
Combs, also known as P Diddy and Puff Daddy, a ballot-paper nightmare if he runs for office, said his non-partisan campaign, Citizen Change, was designed to "educate and empower those people who often do not vote".
He said they were the "forgotten ones" and included more than "42 million Americans aged 18 to 30 who are eligible to vote on 2 November".
Combs said he would work to make voting appealing in "the same way we make a Biggie album, a Sean John shirt, or a Spider-Man movie, hot, cool and sexy".
