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.

Road rage on the increase

SOME 85 per cent of drivers believe aggressive driving and road rage has increased over the past three years, a Gallup poll shows. And 54 per cent say they do not believe the police are doing enough to combat this aggression.

The survey also reveals that 76 per cent of drivers say they have experienced motorists driving dangerously close behind them - a 14 per cent increase on a similar poll three years ago.
