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 Independent Online brings you fantastic new photographs of the terracotta army excavation site on the outskirts of Xi'an, Shaanxi province, China where 120 clay figures have recently been unearthed by archaeologists.

The Museum of Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses site surrounds the tomb of the nation's first emperor in the northwestern Shaanxi Province.
