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.

A good summer for:

Alcoholic French crabs, after a wine producer sank 10,000 bottles of Pouilly Fume 1984 in the Bay of Biscay in a bid to help it acquire a fuller flavour.

A bad summer for:

American vampires, with the news that garlic consumption in the US has grown from an annual 1.13 grams per capita in the early 1970s to a current high of 53.9 grams per head.
