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.

Protection Bill

A BILL to improve the protection of children from physical and sexual abuse by introducing a list of people unsuitable to work with them was given a formal first reading yesterday. It was introduced by Debra Shipley, Labour MP for Stourbridge.

Post Office bid

THE PRICE paid by the Post Office for German Parcel was its annual turnover plus any special assets, Ian McCartney, the Trade and Industry minister said. Previously, acquisition estimates were not given as they were commercially sensitive.

No pardons

THE GOVERNMENT resisted calls for pardons for 343 British servicemen shot for desertion in the First World War as little evidence survived.
