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.

A woman and her two adult sons were shot to death in their home yesterday as Naples continued to be bloodied by turf warfare.

The shootings in an apartment on the outskirts of the city raised to 99 the number of killings blamed this year on warfare involving the Camorra crime syndicate.

Italy's government last month sent in hundreds of soldiers to try to quell the violence. Yesterday's murders, carried out apparently with silencer- equipped pistols only 50 yards away from a police station, fuelled calls for an even tougher crackdown. AP - Naples
