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.

The Queen called on the United Nations yesterday to continue leading the world's response to "global dangers" while remaining true to its core goals of ensuring "security, prosperity and dignity" for all.

The Queen addressed the General Assembly for the first time in 53 years.

She praised the UN's achievements since its formation in 1945 as "remarkable" but also highlighted new challenges that have grown in recent decades – terrorism and climate change.
