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.

Gillian Anderson is the latest celebrity to back The Independent’s Christmas appeal for Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) with a special video message.

As part of our 12 Days of Christmas series, the 47-year-old actress, who became a household name playing Agent Dana Scully in the TV show X-Files, explains how donations can help fund crucial research projects at GOSH.

“Last year GOSH committed to funding seven research projects around the country, dedicated to improving treatment and diagnoses for children with rare diseases,” she said. “By supporting the Give to GOSH appeal, you can help brighten the future of these children with life-threatening diseases.”

With her Christmas message Anderson joins a growing list of famous faces who have endorsed the campaign as part of our series, including Jason Isaacs, Barbara Windsor and John Bishop.

David Beckham and Johnny Depp have also thrown their weight behind The Independent's record-breaking appeal, which has already topped one million pounds.
