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.

Who is going to win?
It’s tricky to predict which way many of the categories will go this year, but there seem to be a few dead certs (or so we think!).
The Big Short will surely take Best Film, Musical or Comedy, with Best Film, Drama is expected to go to Spotlight.
The Best Actress, Drama group is the most crowded of 2016, will all five nominees putting in spectacular performances. Cate Blanchett or Rooney Mara are arguably the favourites for Carol, but Brie Larson has been the name on everybody’s lips for Room.
Leonardo DiCaprio is tipped to finally win his first Oscar for The Revenant and it’s likely the Globes will give him the Best Actor, Drama gong too. Over in the comedy category, Steve Carell in The Big Short and Jennifer Lawrence in Joy seem the most likely choices.
Elsewhere, Alicia Vikander is the hot bet for Best Supporting Actress for Ex Machina, while Idris Elba could easily take Best Supporting Actor for Beasts of No Nation.
Best Director is another closely-fought category with Todd Haynes our outsider prediction for Carol, followed by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu for The Revenant.
Over to the television side, Game of Thrones is sure to dominate along with Mr Robot, Transparent, Empire and Fargo touted to win big.
