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.

Deadline for UAE aliens

More than 144,000 illegal workers have left the United Arab Emirates ahead of a new law cracking down on unlawful foreign labour, an Interior Ministry spokesman said. The spokesman urged all others to leave by the end of October, the deadline the government had set for illegal aliens to leave or legalise their stay. Reuter - Dubai
