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.

PRISON TERMS: The contract to run Britain's first privately-run local prison has been won by UK Detention Services - a consortium made up of John Mowlem and Sir Robert McAlpine and Corrections Corporation of America, Peter Lloyd, the Home Office Minister of State, told Sir John Wheeler (C, Westminster North). Seven bids to manage the prison were received, Mr Lloyd said.

POOLS CHECK: Consultants' advice on the impact of the national lottery on the football pools will not be published because it contains commercially sensitive information, Peter Brooke, Secretary of State for National Heritage, told Joe Ashton (Lab, Bassetlaw).
