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 rap duo shared a new track on Soundcloud Thursday, featuring BOOTS, which is meant to take some misery out of the post-election terror millions of Americans are now feeling. The song was written months ago and while it wasn’t written for the election, El-P says it seems to fit perfectly.
Listen to "2100" and read a note signed by both rappers below.
“For our friends. For our family. For everyone who is hurting or scared right now. Here is a song we wrote months ago. We weren’t planning on releasing it yet but… well it feels right, now. its about fear and its about love and its about love and its about wanting more for all of us. Its called 2100. We hope it finds you well.
love,
Jaime and Mike"
