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.

MORE than 3,000 armed police last night held the Kashmir state police chief, B S Bedi, and several other senior officials hostage inside their Srinagar headquarters. The police rebels, mainly Muslims, were confronted by a larger contingent of Indian paramilitary forces, who insist the police release their hostages and surrender.

The police are demanding the arrest of a top police official who allegedly allowed a Muslim constable to die in army custody.
