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.

The first sex worker film festival in London will be held next month, featuring documentaries and short films about the fight for human and labour rights.

The festival, on June 12, is being organised by a collective of sex workers and will include films from the UK, Australia, the United States and Brazil.

Funds raised will go towards an event later in the year aimed at challenging media "sensationalism" of sex workers and improving their rights.
