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.

Dr John Sentamu, the Archbishop of York, has been targeted by an "anonymous whispering" campaign by critics trying to besmirch his name, according to his former aide, the Rev Arun Arora. In an article in The Sunday Telegraph, he said there was a "stark contrast" between the portrayal of Ugandan-born Dr Sentamu and the treatment of other bishops. "At worst, it has elicited the naked racism that still bubbles under the surface in our society."
A spokesman for the Church of England said: "The blog from Arun Arora quoted in the story is a month old and has already been widely quoted in a range of publications."
