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.

Music legend and innovator David Bowie has died 18 months after being diagnosed with cancer.

The star was a pioneer in the music industry, and is cited by musical stars including Madonna and Kanye West as an inspiration.

His influence also spread to the worlds of fashion and movies, seeing Bowie take the lead role as Jareth the Goblin King in cult movie Labyrinth as well as smaller roles in films such as The Prestige, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me and Zoolander.
