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.

Other's leading the nominations include Megamind, with six nods, and Shrek Forever After, which received five. Toy Story, considered the frontrunner for an Oscar win and the highest-grossing animated film of all time, got three nominations.
Dragon's other nominations were in individual achievements for Character Animation, Voice Acting and Storyboarding categories.
The nominees for Best Animated Video Game are Heavy Rain, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Limbo, and Shank. Awards will also go to television productions in various categories.
