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.

Modern Times: Streetwise

9.00pm BBC2

For the first time ever, cameras have been allowed to follow the legendary London cabbie- apprenticeship, The Knowledge. Over two years, the would-be taxi-drivers commit to heart every nook and crannie of the capital, before coming before an exam board of six retired police officers. Seventy per cent of them will drop out in the meantime.
