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.
Your support makes all the difference.A look at this week's top-rated websites from StumbleUpon, recorded on March 18.
This week's selection includes a traditional Sydney townhouse with a designer rooftop pool, a photo of a man standing next to a protest sign that reads "It's easy to be pro-choice when you are not the one being killed" while a girl stands next to him with a sign that reads "It's easy being pro-life when you are not the one being pregnant!", photos of abandoned and ruined buildings in Detroit, a TED video of Jake Shimabukuro playing Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" on a ukulele, and a Japanese robot that looks "uncomfortably realistic."
