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.

Elena Baltacha and Anne Keothavong gave Judy Murray a winning start to life as captain of the Great Britain Fed Cup team yesterday.

The experienced pair were chosen ahead of Laura Robson and Heather Watson for singles duty against Portugal and posted straight-sets victories over lower-ranked opponents to give the team an unassailable lead before Robson's and Watson's doubles match.
