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.

Katarina Witt preparing at Wembley Arena yesterday for her first appearance in Britain in a professional ice show. 'Banjos and Balalaikas' opened at Wembley last night and will run until 28 February. Witt, who won two Olympic skating gold medals for East Germany, will learn next week if she will be allowed to reclaim her amateur status and try for a third gold at Lillehammer in 1994.
