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.

MORE THAN 100 leading businessmen yesterday launched a pounds 1m campaign against the European single currency, claiming the venture is too risky, writes Fran Abrams.

At the launch of Business for Sterling the former British Rail chairman and Labour minister Lord Marsh pointed to a new pounds 500m investment by Honda as proof that Britain could survive outside Economic and Monetary Union.

The group is backed by the heads of the Institute of Directors and Federation of Small Businesses, but says its resources will never match those pumped in by Europe for pro-EMU campaigns.
