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.

Anna Wintour is the latest famous face to take part in the Ice Bucket Challenge which sees subjects get soaked in the name of charity.

In the video Wintour is pictured sitting alongside a group of children in her trademark bob and sunglasses combination.

The legendary bob finally gets flattened when the world famous fashion editor gets drenched in water.

Wintour who was originally nominated by her daughter, Bee Shaffer, nominates tennis player Roger Federer and actor Dominic West to continue the challenge.

The Ice Bucket Challenge raises money and awareness for the neuro-degenerative disease ALS involves emptying a bucket of ice cold water over your head and nominating individuals to embark on their own attempt.

Other celebrities that have taken part include Cheryl Cole, Gisele Bundchen and Cara Delevingne.
