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.

A new exhibition is showcasing photos from across the world taken by people trying to make a difference on issues from fighting climate change, poverty and hunger to promoting human rights.

Making a Difference through Photography is an exhibition by FotoWare, whose spokesperson Radmila Milenkovich said "A photo can say more than a thousand words!

"In day-to-day life, it’s sometimes easy to forget about things we do not see; media write about world issues that are just so hard to take in, and sometimes hard to imagine."

The exhibition features work from organisations including Oceana, PhotoVoice, Wings of Support, Greenpeace, Ami Vitale and Melanie-Jane Frey.

It will run in the former shipyard of Aker Brygge, Oslo, for three weeks from 18 September.
