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 league leaders Cannock seem unlikely to surrender their maximum points record following the visit of Teddington this afternoon, but the other two teams on 100 per cent, Loughborough Students and Reading, meet at Loughborough in what seems certain to be a high-scoring game.
There could be a good crowd at Oakwood to see Southgate, Cup winners in their past glory days, entertain Lewes. The North London club expect to parade their new signings South African Bruce Jacobs and Pakistan's Ali Ghazanfar, who appeared in the Athens Olympics.
