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.

POLLUTION PROTESTS: Seventy-five thousand letters have been received by HM Inspectorate of Pollution over new discharge licences being sought for Sellafield, David Maclean, Minister of State for the Environment, told Simon Hughes (Lib Dem, Southwark and Bermondsey). More than 50,000 are estimated to object to the proposal.

JOBS TOLL: On average 371,600 people a month have registered as unemployed since November 1990, Patrick McLoughlin, Minister of State for Employment, told Frank Dobson (Lab, Holborn and St Pancras). They were offset by 321,600 leaving unemployment.
