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.

Three people died and hundreds were injured in Yemen yesterday when police used live ammunition, tear gas and water cannon against anti-government protesters in cities across the country.

Two people were killed in the capital, Sanaa, during the crackdown, with fighting also reported in at least three other cities. Demonstrations against President Ali Abdullah Saleh have been gathering momentum since the success of the Egyptian revolution last month.
