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.

JANUARY is proving a good month for Stirling Wilford, the architectural practice of the late Sir James Stirling and his partner Michael Wilford. It has been chosen to design a new arts centre in Singapore - the biggest in Asia - where it is currently working on a new polytechnic. Closer to home, it was announced last week that the City of London has agreed to sell contested land at No 1 Poultry, allowing Lord Palumbo finally to build on the site, using a plan by Sir James. After the architect's unexpected death last June, Lord Palumbo pledged he would build the scheme in Sir James's honour.
