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.

A baboon has been reported roaming the streets and gardens of a town in New Jersey.

Police have received more than a dozen reported sightings and warned residents in the town of Jackson to stay inside. Officials believe the animal escaped from a wildlife reserve at a theme park. Members of a search team had seen the animal dashing across a golf course on Friday but were unable to tranquilise it.
