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.

New chassis rules announced for the 1996 Indianapolis 500 will force Indy car teams to bring an entirely new car to the richest event in motor racing, according to some team owners. The rules, designed to reduce cornering speeds, will force sidepods to be raised and shortened and their airflow reduced to lessen downforce. The tubs, which include the cockpit, must be widened and the wings will be limited and reduced.
