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.

Virginia recalled a number plate reading Zyklon B - the gas used in Nazi death camps - issued to a man convicted two years ago of painting racial and religious slurs on a black church. The state will send the owner, Ryan Maziarka, a new plate later this week. Requests for personalised plates are screened to see if requests are potentially offensive, a spokeswoman said. Mr Maziarka's request probably slipped through because it is obscure. AP - Norfolk, Virginia
