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.

Protesters from north-east England arrived in Trafalgar Square, London, yesterday at the end of their re-enactment of the 1936 Jarrow March.

The march against youth unemployment, which began on 1 October, tried to replicate the route of the 200 jobless men who completed it 75 years ago, carrying a petition calling for action to create jobs. The rally coincided with a diverted march by the Occupy London movement.
