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.
Your support makes all the difference.DAVID FELDSHUH'S powerful Miss Evers' Boys (below) looks at the warped logic that allowed a group of black share-croppers in Alabama in the Thirties to become guinea-pigs in a US government "health" programme monitoring the effects of untreated syphilis. Moving between the 1972 deposition of Miss Evers, the black nurse whose good intentions paved the road to hell, and a chronological account of pointless suffering, this is not for the faint-hearted.
