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.

One in three GPs is planning to leave the NHS in the next five years, a survey suggests.

The survey of 576 doctors for Pulse magazine found GPs under strain, with 46 per cent saying they suffer stress, 19 per cent anxiety and 7 per cent depression. Of the entire sample, 35 per cent are planning on leaving or will retire in the next five years.
