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.An autistic young girl breaks into a rare smile as she is encouraged to dance by a friendly guiding hand; an elderly white man and a dark-skinned, plaited-haired girl, spotted through a window, share a smile and conversation; an able-bodied athlete grips the hand of a runner with special needs as they reach the finish line together – these are the images of a diverse Europe, according to a new photography exhibition.
Opening in Split, Croatia, on Saturday, 'Yes to Diversity, no to discrimination' is a collection of 12 photographs that marks the conclusion of a Europe-wide Amnesty International competition.
It is being opened by renowned Amnesty supporter, BBC commentator and former NBA basketball star John Amaechi, the first professional player in the NBA to come out as gay.
Amateur photographers from across Europe were challenged to submit powerful images promoting the value of a society without discrimination, with the 500-plus entries being judged by a panel of professional photographers and human rights activists.
'Yes to Diversity, no to discrimination' opens at Pučko Otvoreno Učilište (the Centre for Cultural and Educational Activities) in Split on Saturday
