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: Visit the Royal Academy of Arts' new major exhibition in London celebrating modern British sculpture. Opening today, it features work from Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore, Julian Opie and Damien Hirst; until 7 April ( royalacademy.org.uk).
This week: Forget your new year's resolutions: in New York, the annual restaurant week (it's on for two) starts on Monday with top restaurants offering discounted menus ( nycgo.com/restaurantweek). In Madrid, the Gastrofestival runs on the same dates with tasting sessions, guided visits and culinary events ( madridfusion.net). But to stay healthy, aim for the Royal Horticultural Halls in London where the Adventure Travel Live show starts on Friday ( adventuretravellive.com).
In the diary: The Hotel de Toiras on the Ile de Ré is opening a sister hotel, Villa Clarisse, in May. The 18th-century hôtel particulier is in the throes of renovation and will feature nine bedrooms with interiors by Pierre-Yves Rochon and a heated pool ( villaclarisse.com).
