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.

My Back Wages
Martindale from Marketing
While at the annual do
Tied his tie around his head
And stiffly shouted, "Whoo!"
At 48 years old, the words
Came slowly to his lips
As Crosby Stills & Nash
Resuscitated "Wooden Ships"
And in a darkened function room
The other side of town
A sea of suits and iron-grey
Began to get on down
As Sting, lit up by laser-spots
Against the corporate logo
Observed a portly president
perform a rusty pogo
Even Dylan seems to have
Been dragged into the game
Though CSN have always had
The corporate sounding name
And Martindale from Marketing
May idiot-dance in vain
For morning light will see the tie
Around his neck again
