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 PACIFIC Grand Prix team, who will operate from a base near Thetford, Norfolk, have signed up the the little- known German driver, Michael Bartels, to compete in this year's Formula One world championship. Bartels, 24, drove in the International Formula 3000 series last year and finished fourth overall. His only previous Formula One experience was with Lotus in 1991 when he entered four grands prix but on each occasion failed to qualify for the race.
