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.

Hermès has launched an interactive site called J'aime mon Carré (French for 'I love my scarf'), which shows you countless ways to tie the luxe label's famous printed scarves, much along the lines of Burberry's Art of the Trench portal. ( Styleite)
Diesel stays stupid: the denim label continues its popular Be Stupid campaign this fall. New ads have just been released and are as hilarious as ever. Will they, too, be banned in the UK? ( Fashionising)
American Apparel's financial situation continues to look bleak. ( WWD)
America's Next Top Model host Tyra Banks has made waves after enthusiastically lauding an incredibly tiny waist of one of her show's contestants. Banks had formerly made a point of including healthy-looking models and famously told the gossip press to "kiss my fat ass." ( Jezebel)
Model of the moment Abbey Lee Kershaw stars in a video for Alexander Wang's first-ever campaign. Lenny Kravitz's daughter, Zoe fronts the print ads. ( Style.com)
There's still no sign of a cookbook, but supermodel Kate Moss will start selling her own jam. ( The Sun)
