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.british and American troops marched through Red Square yesterday as part of a large-scale parade to celebrate 65 years since the Allied victory in the Second World War.

The inclusion of foreign troops, seen as a goodwill gesture from the Kremlin, was not matched by invitations to all of their leaders, however.
In Gordon Brown's absence, a British offer to send Prince Charles was snubbed, while the US Vice President Joe Biden was also excluded from the events.
