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.

On Thursday 16 April at 10am PT (6pm BST), Star Wars : The Force Awakens director JJ Abrams is due to open Star Wars Celebration at the Anaheim Convention Center in California.

He'll head up a panel featuring numerous "special guests" and a few surprises – one of which is likely to be a second trailer.

If the rumours are to be believed it will feature some big first looks, including the return of Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher as Han Solo and Princess Leia.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens in cinemas on 18 December, 2015.
