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.Not for kids
Brooklyn-based designer Mark McGinnis has created a series of super-cute, and rather subversive, silk-screen posters for London interiors shop SCP. It's a limited run – there are just 100 prints of each letter – and all are signed by the artist. Available online, and framed in-store. From £90; visit scp.co.uk
Licence to drive
It's been 50 years since James Bond first rolled onto our screens. To celebrate, Hampshire's National Motor Museum is showing the original cars, boats, sleds, motorbikes and jets from the films – including the car/submarine Lotus Esprit S1 from The Spy Who Loved Me. From Tuesday; beaulieu.co.uk
Gypsy passion
Czech photographer Josef Koudelka spent the Sixties documenting Roma communities in Europe. This classic series was originally published in a book called Cikani; now a bigger, lavish edition of Gypsies has been issued – essential for any photography fan. £48; thamesandhudson.co.uk
Sounds like Sunday
Bass supremo Herbie Flowers and his expansive jazz ensemble are putting on a series of Sunday morning sessions at Brighton Dome. For just £6, tuck into a selection of coffee, croissants and weekend papers, and drink in the sounds. From 5 February; brightondome.org
Jewel purpose
In search of a bauble to cheer up your January? Lucy Hutchings has just added a more affordable range to her line of fabulous statement jewellery. The 'caged' mini-pendants, from £24.95, are our personal favourites. Lucyhutchings.com
Status quo
Soho institution Quo Vadis is about to re-open its kitchen doors after a refurb, with Blueprint café chef Jeremy Lee now at the helm. "I've always wanted a restaurant/bar/bakery, which is what this will be," says Lee. And the food? "Plain, simple, lovely fare." Quovadissoho.co.uk
