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.

THE Prince of Wales visits Bologna this month to open an exhibition inspired by his Vision of Britain book, television programme and exhibition held at the Victoria and Albert Museum. But in 'A Vision of Europe' the Prince demonstrates that the Classical architecture he advocates is not merely a parochial British concern. The list of exhibitors includes some of his favourite architects. The Prince's attack on the British architectural establishment in A Vision of Britain has made the exhibition's advisers nervous about releasing the text of his forward to the Bologna catalogue. Brian Hanson, director of the Prince of Wales's Institute of Architecture, says the exhibition is 'intended to be a very positive showing of schemes being built across Europe'. 'A Vision of Europe' opens in the church of San Giorgio, Poggiale, Bologna on 29 September.
