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.

University lecturers are voting on whether to step up industrial action over pay to include disruption of exam marking and student admissions.

The Association of University Teachers, which represents 36,000 academic staff, yesterday agreed to hold the planned ballot while it and seven other higher education unions consider an improved pay offer from the university employers.

The unions, which represent 100,000 staff, from professors to porters, held a one-day strike over pay last November.
