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.The toll of murder victims buried in mass graves in northern Mexico has risen to 116, with the attorney general blaming the atrocities on the brutal Zetas drug cartel.
Soldiers found the corpses last week in San Fernando in Tamaulipas state near the US border and initially unearthed 59 bodies. But the toll has since risen steadily.
The victims in Tamaulipas, one of the drug war's worst flash points, may have been killed after refusing to work for the Zetas cartel, according to media reports.
