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.

Speed kings like Juan Manuel Fangio and Stirling Moss were heroes of the Fifties and Sixties, and the romance and the spirit of those times is captured in "Formula One - The Golden Era", an exhibition of the work of Michael Tee at The Special Photographers Company's gallery in London, which runs until 30 August.
Tee took the picture of Fangio (above) as he crossed the line to win the 1951 Spanish Grand Prix and clinch the drivers' title.
