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.

Dubbed a mini Zac Efron, Lynch is set to be a teen heartthrob this summer when he stars in Disney's musical film, Teen Beach Movie, playing surfer boy Brady.

Born in Colorado, but now residing in LA, he cut his teeth on Disney's hit comedy series Austin & Ally. His band R5, which includes his siblings Riker, Rocky and Rydel, is signed to Hollywood Records – home to Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus. Girls! Stop screaming!
