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.

BRITTANY Ferries is to stop exports of farm animals for slaughter on its six routes to France and Spain from 22 August, because of the suffering caused. It is also limiting transport for fattening or breeding to routes from the south of England to Britanny, Normandy and the Loire Valley from 30 September. Last month P & O Ferries said it would stop carrying animals to Europe for slaughter from October, unless an improvement in European Union standards was imminent.
