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 BRITON murdered on the first day of a trip to Florida could have been killed in a robbery, police said yesterday. Anthony Pike, 42, son of a wealthy hotelier in Spain, was naked and had no belongings when he was found shot dead in woods at Virginia Key.

Police contacted officials in Britain to confirm the identity after discovering a form with Mr Pike's name on it lying near the body, which was found on Monday - 12 hours after he arrived in the US on a business trip.
