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.

Four held over pipe protest

Four members of the environmental pressure group Greenpeace were arrested yesterday in connection with criminal damage to an effluent pipe at the Aldermaston nuclear plant, near Reading, on Easter Monday.

Documents and computer files were seized during a raid on the group's headquarters in Islington, north London, by about 40 Ministry of Defence police on Wednesday.

The four - John Sauven, 40, Janet Convery, 39, Iain McSeveny, 33 and William Peden, 29 - were later released without charge on police bail.
