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.

A protester holds a sun-shaped banner at a protest against EDF Energy's plans to install two new reactors at the Hinkley Point power station in Somerset. More than 200 people, including members of several anti-nuclear groups who are part of the Stop New Nuclear alliance, were reported to have blockaded the site.

Stop New Nuclear spokesman Andreas Speck said: "The Government has hoodwinked the public into believing we need nuclear power to keep the lights on. But this is totally untrue." PA
