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.

Jackson co-wrote the script and will co-produce the film for his Cheetah Vision Films, which recently shot The Gun starring Val Kilmer with Jackson.
50 Cent will begin a two-month international tour in Berlin, Germany on February 23 through April 6 in Warsaw, Poland, for his album, Before I Self Destruct.
Jackson previously starred in Jim Sheridan's Get Rich or Die Tryin with Terrance Howard. He also appears in Joel Schumacher's upcoming Twelve with Kiefer Sutherland and Chace Crawford, which closed the Sundance fest, as well as Abel Ferrara's Jekyll and Hyde.
