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.

This dress has sparked an internet frenzy the likes of which has not been seen since Left Shark took the Super Bowl by storm.

The question of whether it is blue and black or gold and white has divided friends, families and the celebrity world.

The furore coincided with a llama chase in Arizona, starting a tide of amazing memes.

Left Shark made an appearance.

John Travolta is still being creepy.
