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.

Roccus commencit ipse bona
Elvis Presleum et Minimus Ricardis
Awopbop alubopawop bambuum
Latus fiftis cum Nil Sedaka, Fabiani
Et plethora radio saccharinus extant.
In sixtis, amore et pax regina, maan
Beatlis, Stonus, Kinkus et Dylanae
Guitarem jangli, vox nasali harmonia
Dua didi didedum didedu. Explodus
Liber amore et maximus narcotica
Culminati in Wudstocci et detritus
In seventis, Baeciti Rollerum puerilus
Bi Bi Baebi et cetera, Papere Laceae
Abba et Boni Tylus dominatum
Chartum suprema faeces est
Omnia triste et desperandum. Sodit
Ledus Zeplinis, Genesis, Supertrampi
Et roccus progressivum. Pompus ars
Guitaris solo "widdli-widdli" notorius
Et bankus keybordii unneccessarii.
Membere fragmenti "amicabilius" et
Plurum solo-projectem interminabilis
Status Quo demonstratum unum riffae
Et tres chordi per duratum totalis
XXX annus veritas popula francis rossi
Et tedium excruciatum. Exempli gratia:
Doun Doun Delum Doun ad nauseam
Vulgaris Sex Pistolus victorius latum
Cum Anarchis in Britannica VIIVII
Gloria in pluribus sputum et disputum
Ad EMI, A&M et Virginae bolloxae
Managerus scarperum cum wedgeae
Et Sid Viscuus est mort. Finitas.
Aetes stadium roccus plus tedius
Novus Romanticus et Madonnica
Acidii, Balearicus Beatem ad nintis.
Sortedis per Es et Whizz mateii
Britpopulis, oasis et natali imbruglia
Millennium dome inglorius anthemus
Roccus est mort aut est veri sic
Et Sony dominate mundi eternum.
