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.

We're not sure about: Stupid cupid

V-Day is fast approaching and with it comes news that "for your eyes only" photo shoots for women are growing in popularity. At the sessions you can choose from eight different poses to bring out your "inner goddess" and possibly a repeat visit from your lunch.

We're buying: Heart on your bag

Time was a carrier bag didn't advertise much except where you bought your veg but now it lets you broadcast your retail philosophy to the world. East London's "Love Hackney, Shop Local" campaign taps into the locale's creative talent with a series of bags available from various markets.

We can't wait for: Getting ahead of ourselves

At last week's menswear shows in Milan many brands gave their customers the chance to use the catwalk as their very own catalogue – with pieces from the autumn 2012 collections ready to order immediately. The tricky part is waiting the two months it'll take for the pieces to be made and shipped.

We're booking our flights: Jason Wu for Target

The Audit has only just got over the Versace for H&M cruise collection online bun fight, so though it may be crazy to consider a trip across the Pond, this collaboration's low prices mean we're practically saving money.
