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.An anonymous telephone bidder paid pounds 48,400 for John Lennon's hand-written lyrics to A Day in the Life, a song on the album Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, at Sotheby's, more than double the estimate and a record price for a Beatles lyric. Another anonymous buyer paid pounds 45,100, three times the estimate, for Paul McCartney's lyrics to She's Leaving Home.
