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.

Last month, a host of film props were auctioned off by distribution company A24 to raise money for the fight against the coronavirus pandemic. A jewel-encrusted Furby pendant from Uncut Gems and the hoodie worn by Zendaya in HBO’s coming-of-age series Euphoria were two of the most eye-catching items on offer.
