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.

LAGOS - The Nigerian Nobel prize winner Wole Soyinka has been placed under surveillance by the military authorities, a human rights group said. Soyinka has regularly spoken out against the military's refusal to transfer power to a civilian government. The Committee for the Defence of Human Rights (CDHR) said Soyinka was under surveillance at his residence in his home town of Abeokuta in the state of Ogun. AFP
