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.

Actor Eric Dane, 53, passed away on Thursday following a battle with ALS, a diagnosis he publicly shared in April 2025.
Friends have launched a GoFundMe campaign to support his two teenage daughters, Billie and Georgia, whom he shared with his wife, Rebecca Gayheart.
The fundraiser aims to collect $250,000 and has already garnered nearly $150,000 by Saturday morning.
Among the significant contributions was a $27,000 donation from Euphoria creator Sam Levinson, who also paid tribute to Dane.
Dane was widely recognized for his roles in Grey's Anatomy and Euphoria, and notably guest-starred as an ALS patient in Brilliant Minds after his own diagnosis.
