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.

The movies rolled out for SXSW, the film portion of which runs March 12-20, include Bryan Poyser's comedy Lovers of Hate, about a love triangle involving two estranged brothers.
Shane Meadows's mockumentary Le Donk & Scor-Zay-See follows a failed musician mentoring a rap prodigy.,
Emmett Malloy's rock documentary The White Stripes Under Great White Northern Lights, is a chronicle of the rock band's 2007 tour of Canada.
A partnership with IFC Films for the simultaneous release of movies-on-demand was also in place recently for the Sundance Film Festival as a means of promoting the festival, the films, and including the public in other cities in the event.
