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.While the world's attention has been fixed on the voting in America, another significant election has been taking place. Also the closest of races, the Ukrainian election was scarred by even dirtier tricks and more dubious registration procedures than the one across the Atlantic. Like the US election, it was also the subject of close - in this case, perhaps too close - attention from abroad. And while its outcome may not decide the fate of the world, it will help to determine the future of Europe and its borders. Will Ukraine face east towards Russia or west to Europe? That is the question that voters will have to answer at the run-off in three weeks' time.
