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.

Gillian Armstrong's excellent film is finely crafted, avoids sentimentality, features a spirited Winona Ryder (honest) and makes you cry.

and what's more...
Inspired arts patronage is not dead. Thanks to the financial support of an anonymous donor, hospital patients in Chelsea and Westminster will be entertained by something more exciting than the library trolley. "The Music That Heals" is a three-year project commencing in October bringing together staff, patients and visitors in ward-based music workshops with musicians from the City of London Sinfonia.
