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.

Gaston Gaudio marched into the French Open final with a straight sets demolition of Argentinian compatriot David Nalbandian.
In a country loaded with outstanding clay-court talent, Gaudio is one of the less heralded yet he reached final with a 6-3 7-6 (7/5) 6-0 triumph.
The match turned decisively in his favour when Nalbandian blew a 5-1 lead in the second set and lost in a tie-break.
Gaudio sat down in his chair after being congratulated by his countryman, put his face in his hands and cried.
Next up for the Buenos Aires player will be the winner of Guillermo Coria's semi-final against Tim Henman.
