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 doctor was cleared yesterday of using her top-of-the range Mercedes to ram a car in an alleged "road rage" attack.

Dr Catriona Bevan, 36, (left), was accused of ramming charity worker Peter Roberts, 27, after she was overtaken.

But a jury at Cardiff Crown Court found her not guilty of dangerous driving after she said Mr Roberts had reversed into her. Mr Roberts had told the court that Dr Bevan had deliberately rammed his car after pulling out in front of him as he drove home from work. He denied being prejudiced against women drivers.
