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.

ROME (Reuter) - The Italian government approved a pounds 32m package to renovate facilities and increase security and staff on two prison islands holding hundreds of Mafia gangsters. The cabinet approved the funds two days after 100 mafiosi were taken to Asinara, off the coast of Sardinia. The government has also sent hundreds of gangsters to the prison island of Pianosa, off Tuscany.
