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.

Planning a radio airwaves assault in the run up to Christmas, a group of Military Voices have recorded a video at the Grave of the Unknown Warrior in Westminster Abbey.

The song, '1914 – A Christmas Carol,' composed by Chris Eaton celebrates the power of Christmas to bring peace in the midst of war and commemorates those who fought in World War One.

The song is raising money for The Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity, ABF The Soldiers' Charity, and the Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund and hopes to battle its way to Number One in the 100th anniversary year of the Great War. It will be available for pre-order online later this month. For more information: www.rafbf.org/1914
