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.

The 14 pupils died when the vehicle taking them to school plunged into a creek in the central province of Hunan. A Hengyang city government spokesman said there was thick fog at the time.
In neighbouring Guizhou province, seven people died and 15 were injured after a truck crashed into a petrol station, also during thick fog, causing a pile-up involving more than 100 cars.
