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.

Pattinson will next be seen in Water for Elephants with Christoph Walz and Reese Witherspoon, releasing April 22, and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1, opening on November 11.
Cotillard is next in Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris with Michael Sheen, Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams, due next September, and Steven Soderbergh's Contagion, costarring Matt Damon, Kate Winslet, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jude Law.
