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.

"On his website, Kelly wrote that 'Love Letter' represents his attempt to give the entire world a hug. Mission accomplished. 'Now I'm going to tell you who I am and what I'm looking for,' Kelly sings, even though at this point, the public knows exactly who he is and what he's looking for. And yet we love him all the same." avclub.com

"For his tenth album, R. Kelly programmes his own decades-spanning radio station of R&B's greatest bits... his decision to ditch the club and retreat to a more conventionally romantic setting allows him to let his voice take centre-stage, which is where it should have been all along." spin.com

"His tuneless lovemaking should make just about any prospective sex partner wish they were deaf." slantmagazine.com
