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.Today: It's the start of Make Holidays Greener Week, the Travel Foundation's campaign to get holidaymakers to make three changes, from buying locally to turning off air-conditioning and using less water (makeholidaysgreener.org.uk). This is also the first weekend of the summer pavilion at London's Serpentine Gallery, a "garden within a garden" designed by Swiss architect Peter Zumtho (serpentinegallery.org).
This week: Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn is reinventing itself as New York City's urban campground from Monday (nps.gov). Meanwhile, Trump Ocean Club International Hotel and Tower opens in Panama City on Wednesday (trumppanamahotel.com).
In the diary: Learn to drum, dance, sing or relax with wellbeing therapies at Tribe of Doris's Intercultural Summer School in Devon's Blackdown Hills. The mini-festival, from 9-14 August, brings together teachers from across the world (tribeofdoris.co.uk).
