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.

THE Independent on Sunday on 2 May suggested that Mr Michael Shrimpton, barrister, had been 'far from independent' in preparing a paper with two colleagues on the implications for Denmark of the 1992 Edinburgh European summit. We accept that in advising that Denmark had failed to obtain any opt-outs from the Maastricht Treaty Mr Shrimpton acted in good faith and exercised an independent judgement. We apologise to Mr Shrimpton for any injury to his professional reputation.
