The Indypendent was founded in 2000 by a group of activists and journalists in New York City as an independent, grassroots publication focused on social justice and progressive issues. It covers a wide range of topics, including politics, labor rights, climate change, racial and gender equality, and grassroots activism, often providing a platform for underrepresented voices and movements. Known for its in-depth reporting and analysis, *The Indypendent* aims to challenge corporate media narratives and promote a more inclusive, democratic society. It is a nonprofit, reader-supported publication, maintaining its editorial independence through donations and community support.
