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.

Time magazine writes: "the signed prints of the fresh-faced ingenue....offer a delightful glimpse of a 14-year-old Moss shortly after she was discovered at New York’s JFK airport on her way home from a Bahamas vacation."
Each shot is expected to go for between £800 - £1200.
David Ross, the photographer, recalled the shoot in an interview with the Telegraph: “She wasn’t trying to prove anything or act above her station. She was untarnished. A blank canvas, as other writers have put it.”
Moss' longevity as a model is unrivalled; now 38, Forbes named her the second highest-paid supermodel in the world (behind Gisele Bundchen), earning $9.2 million from May 2011- May 2012.
