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.

STAR TREKKING

It's a sobering thought that a Star Trek episode is said to be screened somewhere on earth 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. That nowhere on the planet is exempt is clear from the fact that the usually demure resort of Bournemouth has now boldly gone where others have gone before. Today sees the opening of "Star Trek - The Exhibition". Key exhibits include full-size sets and the Klingon Throne.

International Centre, Exeter Rd, Bournemouth (01202-297297) 10am-5pm pounds 4
