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.

Take off to the Tyrol
The Austrian Tyrol transforms into a verdant playground in summer, with all manner of activities to try. When you're not biking or hiking through the epic landscape, bed down for the night at the Gruberhof Hotel, in the scenic town of Igls. The seven-night break offered by Inghams costs £262, on a half-board basis with Monarch flights from Manchester departing on 13 or 16 July and transfers. www.inghams.co.uk
