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.

Hotel Baltazar has opened in Budapest. The 11 bedrooms are layered with sumptuous textures – silks, wood, velvet, leather – and are attached to a restaurant and wine bar (baltazarbudapest.com).
The trail
The first phase of the Rives de Saône project has opened in Lyon. The riverbank through the French city is being revitalised with art installations, pathways, cafés and play areas (lesrivesdesaone.com).
The ticket
Flybe passengers flying from Southampton qualify for cheap South West Trains tickets from London Waterloo – with fast-track airport security added. The £30 return saves at least £7.50 (flybe.com).
