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.

The Hindu world will be awash with colour on Monday for the festival of Holi. Brightly coloured powder and water are thrown by revellers to commemorate the escape from a fire by Prahlad, a devotee of Vishnu. Meanwhile, "France by the Sea" is a new photography exhibition opening at the National Geographic Store in London on Monday. The pictures depict life in 25 French coastal resorts, and the show runs until 7 March ( uk.franceguide.com ).
