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 articles about the families of James Bulger's killers describe a world of under- resourced primary schools, truanting, rotten personal relationships, video stores, permanent telly and grim shopping malls - all far removed from the comfortable existences of most readers of this newspaper. As these huge gulfs continue to widen and as we continue to be fascinated by the lives of an ever-growing underclass without doing anything about it, we are going to carry on reading about cases like the appalling murder of James Bulger.
