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.Fans of hip-hop legends Beastie Boys can now purchase action figures of the trio as seen in the Spike Jonze-directed video for their single "Don't Play No Game That I Can't Win." As of August 2, the action figures are available for purchase on the band's website, with proceeds going to a children's cancer charity.
The limited-edition toys come in a set of three 11.5 inch dolls complete with outfits and accessories. But they don't come cheap, priced at $750 for the set. All proceeds go to the Pablove Foundation and Alex's Lemonade Stand, two charitable organizations in the US dedicated to fighting childhood cancer.
In May, Beastie Boys released the long-awaited Hot Sauce Committee Part Two, their first non-instrumental full-length in seven years. The new album also includes a collaboration with rapper Nas titled "Too Many Rappers," which was released in 2009 and was nominated for a Grammy Award.
The band has won three Grammy Awards and received critical acclaim for its albums such as Check Your Head, Ill Communication, and Hello Nasty, the latter of which topped charts in the US, the UK, and Australia.
