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.

CAR OF THE WEEK

SECOND-HAND V-registration cars decorating forecourts in September? No, this isn't a joke. Manufacturers pre- register vehicles to boost sales figures and dealers also collect bonuses. This gives you some idea of the current state of the car market. But don't think that only unpopular cars get this treatment. Ford's Puma, a performance coupe, is on offer at Brundle (01553 811811) with 10 miles (yes, really) on the clock for just pounds 13,999. That's pounds 1,000 less than new and includes pounds 1,000 of extras. Only two are left.
