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.

People firing bullets in the air to express joy at weddings had jeopardised aircraft, Kuwait's aviation authority said. "Several civil airplanes had to change their courses," said a letter to the interior ministry. "On October 24 two airplanes, Kuwaiti and American, were exposed to shooting from a wedding in the area south of the airport. Other airplanes have suffered similar incidents ... this could result in catastrophes."
