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.

In her first match since her dramatic defeat at the hands of Jelena Dokic at Wimbledon, Hingis, who has reunited with her mother, has returned a more mature player. "The month I spent in Florida was the most important thing I did," she said, "to get myself in better shape and think over things, and get back with my mum."
At the Canadian Open in Montreal, the top seed Patrick Rafter began the defence of his title with an impressive 6-0, 6-2 win over the American qualifier Alex O'Brien. Rafter next meets Jiri Novak of the Czech Republic, who overcame Australia's Jason Stoltenberg.
