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.

In this take on the lovable millionaire, Brand will play a David Beckham-like soccer star, who gets arrested in Texas and sentenced to do community service, which consists of coaching a high school team. The drunken playboy stands to lose a wealthy inheritance when he falls for a woman that his family doesn't like.
The British bad boy and two-time host of the MTV Music Video Awards show will reprise his rocker role, Aldous Snow, from the film Forgetting Sarah Marshall in the movie Get Him to the Greek, to be released June 4, co-starring Jonah Hill ( Superbad, Knocked Up) as a record company intern who makes sure the out-of-control British rock star arrives at L.A.'s Greek Theater for his own concert. Also stars Pink, Diddy, and Brand's girlfriend, pop singer Katy Perry.
