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 23-year-old led almost from start to finish in the Spanish capital. He was in the lead group out of the water, led a breakaway group in the bike leg of the race and never looked back as he completed the race in 1hr 50min 42sec.
Javier Gomez finished second on home soil to claim the lead in the overall 2013 series standings, while Russia's Ivan Vasiliev was third. Brownlee's brother Alistair, the reigning Olympic champion, missed the race with an ankle injury.
