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.

Anders Behring Breivik's lawyers said he has stuck to his decision not to appeal against a terror conviction and prison sentence for bomb and shooting attacks that killed 77 people.

At his sentencing, Breivik said he wouldn't challenge the ruling and his lawyer Geir Lippestad told reporters he had not changed his mind by yesterday's deadline. The 33-year-old Norwegian now starts serving his 21-year prison term, which can be extended for as long as he is considered a danger to society.
