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.

A woman arrested in France on a Spanish extradition warrant has jumped bail and fled to Britain. Brenda Price, 46, of Harlow, Essex, spent 110 days in Lille Prison until last week when friends raised pounds 10,000 in sureties and she was allowed bail.

The court insisted she had to stay in France pending an extradition hearing. Yesterday she and her husband Sam arrived back in London where Mrs Price insisted she had not run away from the charges, but said she could not bear to remain in France.
