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.

As pubs across the country face a Guinness shortage ahead of the Christmas holidays, one London pub is tackling the issue with a solution: ration cards.
Kate Davidson, owner of The Old Ivy House in Clerkenwell, explained, “You have to buy two regular drinks before you can buy your ration of Guinness.”
“We’ve had one gentleman who turned around and left. Everyone has taken it with good humour” she added.
The shortage is fuelled by a surge in demand from younger drinkers. Brand director Joyce He said the viral “splitting the G” trend has also played a role.
