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.

Striking truck drivers in Spain called on King Juan Carlos to intervene and resolve an 11-day dispute that has caused supply shortages for factories and markets and forced some companies to halt production.

"The king is the guarantor of law and order and the only person capable of unblocking the situation," strike spokesman Jose Luis Soldevilla said, after a second round of talks with government officials ended in disagreement. AP - Madrid
