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 world record breaking Thrust SSC car is to make its first public appearance in Britain at the weekend after speeding into the line-up of the Lord Mayor of London's Show. Squadron Leader Andy Green could complete the historic route through the capital's streets in just 6.98 seconds if he was to repeat his incredible 763.035mph land speed record, in Nevada last month. But organisers estimate the car will take more than 32 minutes to travel from Guildhall in the City, to the Royal Courts of Justice.
