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.

The Hollywood Sign is an American landmark and cultural icon overlooking Hollywood, Los Angeles, California.
The 50-foot-tall white uppercase letters measure 450ft long and were originally erected in 1923 as a temporary advertisement for a local real estate development, but due to increasing recognition, the sign was left up.
Awards season will come to a close with the Oscars 2024, which will take place on Sunday evening.
The latest round of movies, actors and directors in contention for trophies will compete for prizes at the Los Angeles ceremony, with Oppenheimer, Poor Things and Killers of the Flower Moon leading the tally.
The Oscars will once again welcome late-night host Jimmy Kimmel to emcee Hollywood’s biggest and most glamorous night.
The Jimmy Kimmel Live! host has previously fronted the Academy Awards in 2017, 2018 and 2023.
He will join Whoopi Goldberg and Jack Lemmon who have also hosted the Oscars four times.
