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.

A stuntman is suing for damages following a string of injuries allegedly sustained while he worked for the Broadway show Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark.

Richard Kobak is claiming in the State Supreme Court in Manhattan that equipment used for the show’s aerial acrobatics was incorrectly adjusted, causing him to fall during performances and rehearsals and suffer concussion, whiplash and other injures.
