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.

THE ACTION of the United States government ('Clinton revenge attack on Iraq', 27 June) should be strongly condemned by anyone who believes in the rule of law, both domestic and international. How can we condemn vigilantes on our streets when our Prime Minister openly supports international vigilantism?

The US ignored the fact that men are on trial in Kuwait for the alleged crime and seeks to justify its action by calling for a condemnation of 'state terrorism'. Does this include its own?
