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.

FORD motorsport, who continue to lead the Monte Carlo rally, made an official complaint over the hazardous behaviour of fans on the course and race safety precautions after a spectator had been struck by a rally car on Saturday night. The 73-year-old spectator was taken to hospital with a broken leg but died later of a heart attack. Yesterday, the world champion, Carlos Sainz, of Spain, and his Lancia team-mate, Andrea Aghini, of Italy, withdrew from the rally after crashing.
