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.

The Hollywood film star Christian Slater was among an audience which viewed an exotic mix of brocade, jet beading and gold lame items. Pyjamas and nightdresses were the canvas for intricate embroideries, pintucks and lace.
Trouser suits were floppy with crochet shirt cuffs flying, long skirts were double layered in soft muslin over matt black and tied at the hips with pyjama draw strings. The collection was crowned by heavy silver jewellery; wide chain belts and armlets gave a medieval feel.
