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.

In the corner of the room, your laptop is hooked up to some speakers. What song do you choose to get into the mood? Marvin Gaye? The Weeknd? Frank Ocean?
According to Spotify, who combed through dozens of playlists created by users to get in the mood, the most popular song among Australians is the infamous “Cantina Band” song from Star Wars.
Somehow, the upbeat steel drums of Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes beat the likes of “Sex on Fire” by Kings of Leon, “Birthday Sex” by Jermih and “Pony” by Ginuwine.
Other artists to feature on the list include “Sex” by Cheat Codes, “Sex With Me” by Rihanna and Frank Ocean’s “Thinkin Bout You.” No other Star Wars songs made the top ten.
For Valentine’s Day, Australians went with less baffling records, including songs by Ed Sheeran, John Legend and Elvis Presley. Meanwhile, John Williams - who wrote "Cantina Band" - recently won his 23rd Grammy for work on The Force Awakens.
