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.

Sheffield United The chairman Kevin McCabe has asked supporters not to protest against manager Bryan Robson during Sunday's televised FA Cup match with Manchester City. Robson has come under pressure in recent weeks as the Blades languish in 14th position, nine points off the play-offs. "We have a worldwide audience on Sunday and I want to see a united United," McCabe said. "Bryan has a strong CV that shows promotions and cup finals. We need to give him time to turn the corner. If he can't there will be a change, but I don't want that."
