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.

By now, many of us are tired of turkey sandwiches and more than a little anxious to escape the bosom of our families, so why not head off to see Spiceworld: The Movie. On the other hand, you could operate a policy of taste and discernment by going to see this instead. Mrs Brown is the film that has made Judi Dench's reputation in the USA, but that's hardly surprising. She has done little in the cinema and they think the word "Dame" means something entirely different. Meantime, watch her Queen Victoria switch from dumpy, grumpy and frumpy to sexy before your very eyes. It's been a great year for this great actress who can do low-, middle- and highbrow at the drop of a hat. See her spin straw into gold in the TV sitcom As Time Goes By; watch her act everyone off the screen doing a cameo in the latest James Bond or jump on a train in January and see her astonishingly funny, powerfully moving performance in the West End transfer of Amy's View.
