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.

A good day for:

Pet-owners as a New Zealand telephone company incorporated into its employees' contracts a clause that allows them paid leave to look after a sick pet - which is "just as much a dependent as a sick child" according to a spokesman.

A bad day for:

Tonya Harding, the skater, whose singing debut was greeted by loud boos and throwing of plastic bottles when she made her singing debut with her band, the Golden Blades, at a fund-raising dance in Portland, Oregon.
