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.

Lindsey Wixson may be one of the fastest risers within fashion but back at home in Wichita, Kansas, the 17-year-old is just like any other teenager - well, maybe apart from news channel CNN accompanying her to her prom.

An instantly recognizable pout and dreamy eyes turned the vixen Wixson into one of the most sought-after fresh faces, after pictures she posted on models.com at the age of 15 bagged her Prada's Miu Miu campaign.

But for her prom, she opted for custom Jason Wu, the same designer that designed Michelle Obama's inauguration ball dress: watch the model get ready and into a limo, pose for pictures, and party with her (short-looking) friends at http://bit.ly/lXPD6P.
