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.

Bargain hunters stormed American stores to take advantage of annual "Black Friday" deals yesterday ahead of the Thanksgiving weekend, seeking savings on everything from designer handbags to big screen TVs.

In New York, thousands queued up at the Macy's flagship store at Herald Square in Manhattan, which opened its doors before dawn. The National Retail Federation said up to 138 million people could hit stores this weekend.
