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.

AT LEAST one man died and 13 people were seriously injured when 51 vehicles were involved in a series of pile-ups in thick fog on the M1 yesterday. The accidents happened near Alfreton, Derbyshire, after a minor crash forced a lorry to stop in the fast lane. The road between junctions 29 and 28 was closed for four hours while firemen freed people trapped in wreckage.
