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.

Palestinian human rights groups called on Yasser Arafat to investigate the case of a West Bank Palestinian, who was declared brain-dead this week after being detained without trial by the Palestinian security forces for seven months.

Human rights activists reported after visiting Mahmoud Jumaiel, 26, that he had shown signs of savage beating. Mr Jumaiel was arrested last December on suspicion of belonging to the Fatah Eagles, a dissident faction of Mr Arafat's movement. Eric Silver - Jerusalem
