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.

New Zealand-born actor Russell Crowe received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Monday, ahead of his return to the big screen with director Ridley Scott's re-imagining of "Robin Hood.

The 46-year-old naturalized Australian actor - best known for his Oscar-winning role in action flick "Gladiator" and later as a maddening mathematician in "A Beautiful Mind" - was accompanied by his wife and two young children to receive the honor - the tourist spot's 2,404th star.

Also attending was talk show host Jay Leno and filmmaker Ron Howard, who directed the actor in 2001's "A Beautiful Mind" and 2005's boxing drama "Cinderella Man."
