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 Travel Advice Unit (071-270 4129) of the Foreign Office is warning travellers to Burma (Myanmar) to keep to 'officially designated tourist areas'. Tourists are 'not allowed access to large parts of the country where there are actual or potential security problems, and no attempt should be made to go to such areas. Overland entry is only permitted through Tachilek in Thailand. Many travellers avoid using the internal air service because of its poor record.'
