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.

London Underground workers are to stage four strikes – one on Boxing Day and three in the new year – in a dispute over bank-holiday pay.

Aslef has been seeking "adequate compensation" for working on Boxing Day. London Underground said the union's "outrageous" claim for triple pay and a day off in lieu of Boxing Day went against an agreement that all unions had signed.
