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.

Sibyl Buck, the flame-haired American rock chick, is the latest model to become a television presenter, following in the footsteps of Cindy Crawford, Amber Valletta, Tyra Banks and Veronica Webb. Buck, who says she loves music more than fashion, will present MTV's The Pulse. The show's producer/ director, Sue Hills, saw Buck in magazines and interviewed her backstage at shows in Paris. "She always stood out as having opinions and being animated," says Hills. When Buck is not modelling for Yves Saint Laurent, Chanel or Jean Paul Gaultier, she dresses in her own eclectic, thrown-together style. She has been known to travel between castings for jobs by skateboard. For the first programme, Buck asks her friends backstage: "Are models stupid?" She, for one, is proving to the world that some of them are anything but.
Paint it red
Yves Saint Laurent and James Bond are an unlikely combination, but YSL cosmetics is to introduce a new shade of red lipstick this autumn in conjunction with the latest Bond movie, GoldenEye. The lipstick will be called 007. There will also be Bond Girl-inspired gold and silver mascaras by YSL.
Scenting victory
The British fashion label Ghost has settled a dispute with the perfume company Coty, which planned to launch a new scent called Ghost in September. The perfume will now be called Ghost Myst. Ghost aims to launch its own perfume in a few years.
