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.
Your support makes all the difference.Last week saw a Twitter press conference conducted by the Consulate General of Israel in New York (some of the information from which was used for our new Debategraph) on the ongoing conflict in the Gaza strip.
While some may view it as a forward-looking way to communicate with the rapidly-growing group of people who get their news from the internet, it's hard not to feel uncomfortable with the atrocities being committed in the Middle East being expressed via the abbreviated text speak more commonly and appropriately associated with letting your friends know you'll be in the pub in a minute or, for the especially emotionally illiterate, dumping your girlfriend.
