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.

Jasbir Singh Gill, who was attending the morning prayers session, noticed that the priest was allegedly "not concentrating on the prayers" and was distracted by "something underneath the table on which the scriptures were placed".
Mr Gill said: "I was shocked to see the priest was actually busy watching pornographic clips on his mobile phone that he had cleverly hidden under the table."
The chief priest of the gurudwara in Jhar Sahab, near Ludhiana, Punjab was called, but the priest managed to escape leaving his mobile phone behind. A complaint was later filed to a police station in Ludhiana.
A police spokesman said: "We have registered a complaint against the accused after checking the porn movie clips on his mobile."
