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: Book into the new Eventi hotel in New York. Kimpton Hotels' latest unveiling is in north Chelsea in a striking glass tower and features masculine Manhattan design, a spa and, from the autumn, a contemporary Basque restaurant ( eventihotel.com ).
This week: From tomorrow, American Airlines commences a daily summer route between Manchester and New York JFK ( americanairlines.co.uk ). Back in Britain, there's plenty to celebrate in Cumbria. From Wednesday to next Sunday, the Keswick Mountain Festival packs in wild swimming, mountain biking, a fell race, a "meet the experts" theatre and "dine in a mine" event ( keswickmountainfestival.co.uk ). On Thursday, a roving Wish You Were Here exhibition sets off from Cockermouth in support of the Lake District's recovery from last year's floods. Eighty celebrities, including Jon Snow, Griff Rhys Jones and Dame Judy Dench have written postcards for Cumbria, which will be exhibited until 2 June ( wishyouwereherecumbria.co.uk ).
In the diary: The Evolution Festival takes over Newcastle Gateshead over the Bank Holiday weekend. Acts from Donovan to De La Soul and Paolo Nutini to Polarsets will be playing on the Quayside on Sunday 30 and Monday 31 May ( evolutionfestival.co.uk).
