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.

THE DEPUTY Prime Minister, John Prescott, faces legal action over his plans to build new homes in the countryside.

West Sussex County Council is challenging Mr Prescott's order that it must include an extra 12,800 houses inside its boundaries with a judicial review hearing on Monday. The action is seen as a test case in the nationwide controversy sparked by plans for millions of new homes in the 21st century.
