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 world's largest coffee chain has announced that a massive campaign on the world's largest social networking site will begin on Monday.

Users of social networking site Facebook in sixteen countries will see advertising from Starbucks from 1.30 PM GMT (2.30PM CET/8.30AM EST) on Monday December 7.

It is the largest globally-reaching campaign on the Facebook platform to date, in support of AIDS charity (RED). Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg announced earlier this week that Facebook has reached 350 million users, more than the total population of the United States.
