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.
Your support makes all the difference.Over 400 couples were married in a mass wedding at Corinthians football stadium in Sao Paulo, Brazil on Saturday.
Attended by over 9,000 guests, the couples were married in groups of 40, free of charge, in an initiative organised by the local government to provide for those with low-incomes.
Each couple was provided with a marriage license, a bouquet of red roses and a portrait of themselves on their special day.
They were later treated to a small banquet, and entertainment provided by a local military band and a samba group named "gavioes da fiel".
