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.

The painfully à la mode Toronto duo Alice Glass and Ethan Kath take their name from the refuge of She Ra, the heroic female seen in the TV series She Ra: Princess of Power, a spin-off from He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. She Ra and her refuge Crystal Castle were both produced in toy version by toy manufacturers Mattel. The band took inspiration from the song used in the commercial which included the lines: "The fate of the world is safe in Crystal Castles", and "Crystal Castles, the source of all power".
