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.

Thiago Alcantara opened the scoring and Cristian Tello notched two more goals as they cruised to victory with a side shorn of players such as Lionel Messi and Andres Iniesta.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice and set up a third for Gonzalo Higuain as a near full-strength Real muscled their way to a 3-0 win at Athletic Bilbao to stay second with 68 points.
Atletico Madrid were three points adrift in third after Radamel Falcao scored twice in a 5-0 home rout of Granada, and Real Sociedad were 11 points further back in fourth after an Imanol Agirretxe double gave them a 2-0 win at Rayo Vallecano.
