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.

Introducing the most exciting new nature programme, the jewel of our autumn schedules: The Secret Life of David Attenborough. Featuring a hushed breathy commentary and some of the most exotic locations.

We watch the old mammal, the dominant male in this group for the past 50 years, hunting his prey, grooming himself, playing with other members of the family group (Richard), working his way through the undergrowth of BBC bureaucracy, in perfect harmony with the ecology of producers and controllers and schedulers and accountants.

We do not necessarily do the feeding and mating rituals, but Sir David is back on our screens later this month. We should gather round the household shrine to pay homage to the warm-bloodedness of the one-man environmental movement. Long may you survive, Sir David.
