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.

US Defence Secretary William Perry headed to the Gulf on Saturday to try to secure Arab support for a possible military showdown with Iraq and rebuild the US-led coalition against President Saddam Hussein. Iraq declared on Friday that it would suspend its missile attacks on US and allied aircraft policing no-fly zones over Iraq, but President Bill Clinton nevertheless ordered 5,000 more troops to Kuwait and sent Perry on his regional tour.
