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.

IN ICELAND they are poring over the prognostications of a sage known as 'Volva'. She predicts that Maria Shriver, a k a JFK's niece and Mrs Arnold Schwarzenegger, will mediate talks between the US and Cuba, and that the North Sea will be declared unfit for fishing and waste disposal there will be banned.

Last year she foretold that hardliners would make trouble for Boris Yeltsin but that he would survive as Russian President, and that the Prince and Princess of Wales would drop out of the spotlight - after repairing their marriage. Oh well, can't be right all the time.
