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.

LAW BILL: Legal aid totalling £369,000 has been paid so far for the former millionaire Kevin Taylor to sue Greater Manchester Police for malicious prosecution, the Home Office Minister of State, Baroness Blatch, disclosed. Mr Taylor, 62, claims he became a target of the force because of his friendship with a former deputy chief constable, John Stalker.

NAVAL STORES: The Armed Forces minister, Nicholas Soames, confirmed the 1997 closure of three naval stores, at Eaglescliffe, Cleveland; Wrangaton, Dartmoor; and Exeter. Mr Soames said an improved and more cost-effective system of stock distribution to the Royal Navy would result.
