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.

When times are tough – and it’s true that life is difficult and challenging in a myriad of different ways in the time of Covid-19 – hearing a few calming wise words can provide a moment of solace.

When the Queen spoke directly about the coronavirus crisis, she said, “We should take comfort that while we may have more still to endure, better days will return: we will be with our friends again; we will be with our families again; we will meet again.”

This steadying advice is reminiscent of quotes from others about weathering challenging times.

So if you’re feeling like it’s all getting too much, feed your soul with the comforting words below, and always remember, “This too shall pass”.
