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.It's like eating your favourite food. The first three or four times it's great; after that you're sick.

This is Spinal Tap used to be my favourite film. Now I can't watch it because it's all true - the girls, the record-company people, the 'Hello Cleveland' scene, where they get lost backstage. That happened to us in Austria.

He was talking to one of his girlfriends and she said, 'I want to go see Louis Malle's Au Revoir les Enfants.' Quentin said, 'I don't want to see no reservoir dogs.' And that's where the name came from.
