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.

FOR old people who love a game of cards but who cannot see or hold them, giant print cards are now available, along with a fan-shaped device to hold them. At pounds 3.60 and pounds 7.90 respectively, cards and fan make good gifts for someone with poor eyesight or limited dexterity. They are available, along with other practical devices for the elderly and less mobile, from BetterCare, Derwent Industrial Estate, Langdale Drive, Warndon, Worcester WR4 9TY (0905 28575).
