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 Grace Road club made a profit of pounds 22,000 compared to just over pounds 37,000 in 1995. The main reason for the drop was a rise of pounds 171,000 in playing expenses and the club's accounts reveal they have budgeted for an extra pounds 165,000 in salaries for this season.
Yorkshire turned the tables on St Kitts by winning the second of three one-day matches at Molineaux by 116 runs to avenge an earlier five-wicket defeat.

Yorkshire bowled out their hosts for 98, with Ryan Sidebottom finishing with 4 for 9 from his eight overs.
