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.

"I've just seen your wedding dress ad, is the dress still for sale...?"

So began Natasha Caruana's emailed response to various online classified adverts, as part of the subterfuge by which she was able to procure the old wedding photographs in this book. She has masked the brides' faces, giving the collection an eerie, frankly serial-killerish look, but there remains something poignant about these images of faded fairy-tale weddings and their no-longer-needed props.
