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.

Sahil Saeed, of Oldham, was snatched at gunpoint in Pakistan in March 2010.
The court heard that Muhammed Zahid Saleem, 36, and his wife Monica Neruja, 26, had made threatening calls to Sahil's family and travelled to Paris to collect the £110,000 ransom from one of his uncles.
Sahil – now seven – spent 13 days in captivity after being abducted.
