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.

Called Animagical, the ads for the new World Cup-timed, African-inspired scent (out in June) will see Bolt star alongside model Gabriella Silva, who plays the girl he falls for in the commercial.
The choice of the Jamaican sports star comes as part of a trend that sees brands associate themselves with professional athletes: Cristiano Ronaldo stars in the latest Armani underwear campaign, and Japanese soccer star Hidetoshi Nakata and Spanish tennis player Fernando Verdasco appeared in Calvin Klein's new X underwear ads, for example.
Men's fashion and beauty in general, as the German GQ pointed out recently, are mainly influenced by sports this year.
