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.

EC ready to support car firm

The European Commission is set to clear a rescue plan for Spanish carmaker Seat, a subsidiary of Volkswagen, according to reports yesterday. The Commission had launched an inquiry into whether a proposed Spanish government 30bn pesetas (pounds 243m) loan to Volkswagen had been made at market rates of interest and did not involve an element of state subsidy. But the Commission was withholding final approval until Spain submitted a restructuring plan to guarantee Seat's future viability.
