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.Eva Peron has been honoured in song, in film and on Broadway as Evita. Now the face of the former first lady will grace Argentina's currency.
President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner unveiled the new 100 peso note on the eve of the 60th anniversary of Peron's death on 26 July. She is the first woman to appear on any Argentine banknote.
Ms Fernandez, whose party was inspired by Eva's husband, Juan Peron, said the initial printing would be commemorative, but she said she wanted all new 100 peso notes to eventually carry the image.
