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.

Three boys in their early teen years, having been abandoned by their parents, roam the Belgian countryside having both sad and funny misadventures one summer.
Ice Age: Continental Drift (88 mins, U)
Yes, the forgettable prehistoric mammals are back, yet again, to learn the importance of family via convoluted action sequences. Still, there's a good Simpsons cartoon beforehand.
Chariots of Fire (124 mins, U)
Some of the dialogue may be as unsubtle as Vangelis's parping synthesiser score, but the big winner at 1982's Oscars still holds up as a sincere, stirring hymn to British sporting pluck.
Salute (90 mins, PG)
The week's other Olympic film is a documentary about the athletes who raised a Black Power gloved salute on the podium at the '68 Games.
