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.

Five people were injured, three seriously, when an avalanche hit a climbing party in a gully in the Cairngorms near Glenmore Lodge.

Meanwhile, the body of a fisherman was recovered off Scotland's west coast hours after his four colleagues were rescued when their trawler ran around on rocks near the Isle of Bororay, north-east of St Kilda. Dennis Murray, 48, of Portknockie, near Buckie, was spotted by one of 18 fishing boats which joined in the search.
