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.

London’s favourite (er, only) Mayor has selflessly put himself forward to prove how ‘safe’ water cannons are, after sanctioning the purchase of three. On LBC Radio this morning the blonde bombshell agreed to be fired at by one of the devices, saying: "Man or mouse. You've challenged me, so I suppose I'm going to have to do it now. I can see all my press people pulling their hair out over this, but never mind, it's got to be done”

In light of this brave act, Bo-Jo, here are some other not-so-popular pastimes that we feel you alone can help rebrand. Have a blast.
