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 Russian defence ministry has not confirmed the reports from Poland. But Polish prosecutors have been investigating the theft of two credit cards that belonged to Andrzej Przewoznik, a historian who died in the crash in Russia on 10 April.
It has been reported that 6,000 zlotys (£1,200) were withdrawn with his card two hours after the crash. "Four soldiers from the units that secured the crash area were detained," Polish authorities said.
