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.

More than 50 food producers will have stalls at the event, selling farm cheeses, rare breed meat and game, smoked foods and unusual breads and pastries. Sophie Grigson, the Two Fat Ladies, the Nosh Brothers and Valentina Harris will all be giving cookery demonstrations.
l The name Whittard of Chelsea is almost synonymous with tea, so it's no surprise that it has opened the t-bar (0171 224 1165) on Baker Street. The cafe serves 45 teas, from sticky toffee pudding flavour to rose petal. Sandwiches and cakes are also served, but it's not all frilly tablecloths; bright spotlights fall on a chrome bar and tall stools. If popular, more will open across the country next year.
l The Boardwalk (0171 287 2051) in Soho has always been a run-down (if welcoming) drinking haunt. Now thousands have been spent on evoking "glitzy New Orleans" inside - brass railings, old wooden tables, even a waterfall. And Kenny Miller, author of several Cajun cookbooks, is the new chef, cooking Deep South dishes such as pecan-encrusted catfish, alligator kebab, and jambalaya.
