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.

Fourth-placed Hull's captain, Sean Long dislocated an elbow during their victory over the Catalans on Friday. He was having further tests on the injury last night, but the club fear that he may miss the rest of the campaign. Second-placed Warrington are also expecting to have to do without England centre Chris Bridge after he aggravated a shoulder injury during the defeat by Leeds on Sunday and may need major surgery.
After two years in rugby union with Stade Français, Mark Gasnier is back in league with his old club, the St George Illawarra Dragons, on a four-and-a-half year deal. Troubled Paul Whatuira is also returning to Australia, having been released by Huddersfield, while Featherstone's Papua New Guinea centre Jessie Joe Parker is going home, too, because his son has malaria.
