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.

One day I'll say what I really think but that will have to wait for the book.

Charles Spencer, theatre critic of the Telegraph
I've always been one of those geezers that nobody actually treated like a star; being a little fat, bald bloke, people used to come up and chat all the time and I would often meet really interesting people. But now they just run up and shout "It's good to talk!" and then scarper.
Bob Hoskins, actor, on being the current face of BT, Time Out
The horrific scenes in this film could well have the effect of making people drive safer. They will see the consequences if you drive recklessly and without care, because the scenes are so grotesque.
