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.

Scott Fitzgerald and Lady Gaga together is, apparently, Baz Luhrmann's new film The Great Gatsby, if reports today are more than Hollywood whispers.
The saga of Baz Luhrmann's big-screen adaptation of Fitzgerald's novel has taken a twist for the bizarre with news that both Lady Gaga and Prince have been "knocking down the door" of producers in an attempt to get on the soundtrack.
Adelaide Clemens, who plays Catherine in the film, revealed that "Some pretty huge artists have approached Baz and are writing songs for the film, and I don't think Warner Bros. are going to turn down Prince and Lady Gaga knocking down your door."
Prince's last contribution to a film soundtrack was for the 2006 hit Happy Feet but Gaga has yet to provide any original work to a score.
Gaga-ed or not, The Great Gatsby will hit screens in 2013.
