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.

The Independent says: “Rush makes rousing viewing, even if the adrenalin thrill of the race sequences themselves can’t always disguise the cliché-ridden aspects of [Peter] Morgan’s screenplay.”
They say: The Mirror: “The fact that in real life Lauda had a terrible on-track accident is dealt with early, so while there is no sense of suspense there is plenty of space to relish the thrills and spills of Formula 1 in an era when it brimmed with powerful characters.” Den of Geek: ”It’s difficult to say whether the human story alone is enough to appeal to those who aren’t at least passing fans of F1, but whenever it gets behind the wheel it has a serious claim to being the best motor-sport movie yet.”
You say: @joelkorpi: “Men love women, but even more than that, men love cars.” #RushMovie #MustSee #OscarNod”; @BenLikesMovies: “#RUSHmovie is entertaining enough. Couldn’t quite get past the eye-rolling dialogue & the fact that I don’t give two shits about car racing.”
