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 renegade politician Julius Malema will appear in court on fraud, money laundering and corruption charges next week.

News that an arrest warrant has been issued against the ousted leader of the ANC Youth League will be interpreted as a signal that President Jacob Zuma has lost patience with his erstwhile supporter. Mr Malema, 31, returned to prominence last month after the Marikana killings. He made several speeches denouncing Mr Zuma and calling for an all-out miners' strike.
