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.Danielle Mitterrand, a member of the French Resistance and outspoken advocate for human rights who broke the mould as first lady alongside France's first Socialist president, has died.
Mitterrand, who was 87, died Monday night after being taken into Georges Pompidou hospital in Paris for fatigue, said Rita Cristofari, spokeswoman for Mitterrand's foundation France Libertes.
Mitterrand, who often espoused left-leaning causes, was the wife of former French President Francois Mitterrand. He died in 1995 after a 14-year term in office.
For years, Danielle Mitterrand headed France Libertes, a non-profit foundation advocating human rights. She wrote extensively on behalf of Fidel Castro, the Cuban revolution and other Third World causes.
