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.Taiwan surprised Japan with a 79-47 win in the East Asian Games in Pusan, South Korea, yesterday. The victory came a day after a protest by the Taiwanese delegation over an alleged slight regarding the lower status on their identification cards than those of other countries. The Taiwanese had delayed marching into the stadium along with the other participants. Members later refused to wave their arms or face the East Asian Games Association flag as it was being raised.
