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.

Junta on run

THE Nigerian-led West African force that ousted Sierra Leone's junta tightened its grip on the capital and its commander vowed to pursue leaders of the defeated regime. General Timothy Shelpidi said his troops were still rounding up junta officials. Those already seized abroad will be brought back to Freetown to await the return from exile of elected President Ahmad Tejan Kabbah.
