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.Fans of The Office (US) can now enter a charity sweepstake to hang out with some of the hit sitcom's stars via video link.
Several cast members have partnered with the fundraising website Omaze to offer a virtual coffee date to the lucky winner.
Proceeds from the event will go to the Variety Boys & Girls Club, a foundation which donates meals, supplies and activities to struggling families during the coronavirus pandemic.
So far, the meetup includes Oscar Nuñez, Creed Bratton, Kate Flannery and Melora Hardin – who play Oscar, Creed, Meredith and Jan respectively.
“We’re going to have so much fun. We’ll get to know each other, talk about the show, I’ll get your credit card information, stuff like that. And I’ll tell you some juicy, behind-the-scenes gossip," joked Bratton in a video announcing the sweepstake.
“Go now and join. Like, seriously, go right now. Don’t make this harder than it needs to be – that’s what she said,” said Nuñez, appropriating a catch phrase from Steve Carell’s gauche lead character Michael Scott.
The Office isn't the only beloved sitcom doing its part to raise money for charity at the moment.
Ahead of the much-anticipated Friends reunion on HBO Max, fans of the series are able to enter an auction for the chance to be in the audience for filming.
