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.

Back in 2006, fashion's ultimate darling Alexander McQueen was the first to use them as part of a fashion show when a hologram version of Kate Moss modeled a dramatic organza gown, seemingly appearing out of the air inside an empty glass pyramid.
Earlier this year, Burberry relied on a mix of real models and holograms to present its collections on the occasion of its Beijing store opening. And German designer Stefan Eckert has collaborated with motion graphics designer Tim Joeckel for his latest fashion show to present his clothes exclusively on a virtual model in the world's first 3D hologram fashion show.
"The result was one of the biggest holographic projections ever which creates a complete optical illusion and breaks the rules of time and space on stage," Joeckel writes on his Vimeo account.
Together with fashion films as seen at Gareth Pugh, for instance, these kind of new-generation shows are thought to soon replace conventional presentations, at least in parts. Critics say, however, that clothes' movement should be seen in real life, rather than filmed for theatrical effect.
