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.Mauricio Pochettino has become the latest figure to support The Independent’s Help The Hungry campaign, with the appeal raising over £1.5m to assist the most vulnerable in society during the coronavirus crisis.
The former Tottenham manager, who led the club to the final of the Champions League last season, has highlighted the project with the aim of spreading awareness around and lending a hand to food charities.
“In this difficult moment, The Independent has launched Help the Hungry to get as many meals to as many vulnerable people as possible across the country during the coronavirus pandemic,” he says.
“Food charities please get in touch so we can help. No act of kindness, however small, is wasted.”
The Independent has teamed up with the Evening Standard to support The Felix Project – a start-up charity we helped launch in 2016 – delivering produce to community hubs in London boroughs.
