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.

Republican France, revolutionary Russia and the Poland of Solidarity all experienced artistic activity prior to political change. I have a hunch the same is true of Scotland.

The Scottish Labour Party

Scottish New Labour has made available pounds 1.8m for Scottish Screen to help develop a successful film industry in Scotland and attract international projects.

Peter Capaldi

Actor/ director

Already, there has been an arc of self-confidence building through the arts - and that should continue. I hope that devolution means that the Scottish people feel more confident about their culture; the more powerful one feels, the more secure one is.
