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.

A heroic effort by Poul-Erik Hoyer-Larsen helped put Denmark into their first Thomas Cup final for 17 years in Hong Kong yesterday.
Hoyer-Larsen, the All-England champion, was trailing by one game and was 13-1 down in the second, but fought back to defeat the world No 2, Dong Jiong of China, 6-15, 18-17, 15-11.
Taking inspiration from his opening victory, the Danes then carved out a 3-2 win over the four-times winners, China. In Sunday's final, Denmark will meet the nine-times champions, Indonesia, who took an unassailable 3-0 lead over South Korea in their semi-final.
