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.

"I love Miuccia. She's cool, she's sexy, she's hot, and she makes wonderful clothes that make you feel very special. She's fantastic to be around. What's not to love?"
Anna Dello Russo, Editor at large, Vogue Japan
"She changed everything. She's phenomenal. Going to a Prada show is like going to the Guggenheim. It's very deep, her vision. What Cindy Sherman is to art, Miuccia Prada is to fashion. The fashion show is like a theatrical or artistic performance. It's not just fashion. She doesn't care if it's a trend, if it's commercial. She's completely free. I am very proud to have Prada in Italy!"
Andrew Bolton, Curator of Prada & Schiaparelli at the Met
"Miuccia is one of the most influential designers of the past 20 years. Every season, she changes your eye ... Prada is more a semiotician than a designer. She's like the Umberto Eco of fashion. She approaches it almost on the level of language, these very subtle visual codes. What makes her unique is that she's able to convey very complex ideas in very wearable clothes, to never lose sight of functionality, but nevertheless to convey deep conceptualism."
Joan Burnstein, Owner, Browns
"It's always challenging for designers to come up with new ideas every season, but she makes it look easy. She has talent galore and is constantly delivering something different. She's one of the most influential people in the industry and has created a brand that the world looks to every season for direction."
Edward Meadham, Designer, Meadham Kirchhoff
"Prada are very clever at making sure that even the commercial piece has some form of correlation to what Miuccia actually intends to say in the first place. I'm obsessed with Miu Miu, my greatest love of all, above Prada itself. I think I'm not supposed to wear Prada and people get really annoyed with me. But it makes me want to tear my eyes out I want it so much!"
