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.

She is a legend. The real girl power. She has been very influential to me. It's a great album: she does a little bit of rock, with the whole Motown soul flowing through. "Proud Mary" is my favourite; it's about a woman working hard, making it in the world - it's about being proud, going for it when people say it's a man's world. Women are in high positions now, the sisters are really doing it for themselves.
Last Record: Celine Dion, Gloria Estefan, Shania Twain, Aretha Franklin, Mariah Carey, Divas Live This is a soul-based compilation of old and new songs. It's great when powerful women with big voices come together. I consider myself a diva and if I got the opportunity, I would be on stage with All Saints and the Spice Girls. I like all the artists, but I admire Aretha Franklin the most. In the midst of "Chain of Fools", she says "excuse me for a minute", and you feel her power before she lets it rip. I get chilled when I hear her singing.
