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.

YOU WILL not be unaware that the hunt is on for a new James Bond. Bets are being placed. William Hill has reported a tidal wave of support for Coronation Street hunk Reg Holdsworth, the smooth-tongued corner shop proprietor, at odds of 1,000 to 1. I am not so sure. The Daily Express has predicted that the part will go to a Briton 'with dark snarling good looks and an overtly sexual line in body language.' Ring any bells? Raise your eyes, if you will, to the illustration above this column. The Captain is ready.
