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.

England's Mike Atherton takes the attack to Lance Klusener as Hanse Cronje, the South Africa captain, watches during the fourth day's play of the First Test at Edgbaston yesterday. England's quick scoring in the final session of a rain-interrupted day has set up the possibility of victory. At the close of play England were 170 for 8 in their second innings, 289 runs ahead of South Africa. The touring team had been bowled out for 343 in their first innings
