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.

GET SWASHBUCKLING in Surrey this weekend at Birdworld Park and Gardens, which is holding a Treasure Island Fun Day. Pirates, complete with parrot companions, will be mingling with visitors in the picnic area, set among 26 acres of parkland. You can also see penguins, ostriches, herons and alligators - although hopefully the latter are not too heavily involved in the Animal Encounter Sessions. Refreshments will be served at Puddleducks Restaurant and the Safari Snack Bar.

Treasure Island Fun Day is on Sunday 9 August from 9.30am to 6pm at Birdworld, Holt Pound, Farnham, Surrey.

For 24-hour information, call 01420 22838. The cost is pounds 6.95 for adults, pounds 3.75 for children and pounds 5.50 for senior citizens or disabled.
