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.

Grenson Brady boots: £295, now £177
The men’s equivalent of the popular Nanette boot, the Brady is near identical in style. They’re selling fast though, so you’ll need to be quick to snap up a pair.
This lightweight boot is made from black Colorado leather with a suede panel, on a thick, durable sole that will pair well with everything in your wardrobe and keep feet warm and cosy no matter what the weather.
To keep clean, simply wipe dirt off with a dry cloth, and polish as often as needed in a black or neutral colour.
Grenson Nanette boots: Was £295, now £177
While the famous Nanette boots are sold out in black, the white soft calf leather style is still available. They’re a refreshing way to steer clear of darker colours in your wardrobe, while still keeping with the brand’s most popular shoe.
Here at IndyBest, we’re big fans of the style, and can only compare wearing them to like walking on a cloud. They’re surprisingly lightweight so won’t weigh feet down, and the silver eyelets, leather welt and black and white lacing make for a fashionable yet functional design.
We wear ours with everything, from dresses, skirts, jeans and jumpsuits, and are a failsafe option for the tumultuous British weather. They’re a brilliant investment piece for your wardrobe, but if you were still keen to snap up the black style, the platform version is also available, reduced from £330 to £198.
Grenson Sneaker 22: Was £195, now £117
Not just experts at making sturdy boots, Grenson is also a dab hand with trainers too, and has a range of designs for both men and women. This classic white pair currently has £78 off and is worth adding to your shopping basket as they’re guaranteed to get enough wear. Made from calf leather, they’re an update to the Eighties basketball shoe and will match with most of your wardrobe, if not all of it.
Grenson Warren Chelsea boots: Was £275, now £165
You can’t go wrong with a Chelsea boot and this chocolate suede design is simple, but stylish. A hard-wearing boot with a non-slip rubber sole, they’re an easy way to update your footwear game with a smarter style to wear with jeans, chinos and suits. It’s also an easy way to introduce more muted colours into your closet if you have a penchant for sticking with black.
Clara vegan loafers: Was £285, now £200
Earlier this year, Grenson unveiled a line of vegan shoes, so you can shop its bestselling styles without buying leather or suede. It’s the result of the ever-expanding vegan movement and feedback from fans of the brand.
While the range uses vegan friendly materials, they’re no less stylish than the originals. We love these platform loafers with a tassel detailing that are made from microfibres that promise to mimic natural cowhide. It's also antibacterial, washable, lightweight and absorbent too.
The insoles are also made from recyclable paper, the welts from microlight rubber and its soles contain no animal products. While they have a chunky look we love, we can attest to how lightweight they are, you’ll barely know you’re wearing them.
Grenson Sneaker 1: Was £205, now £123
These slate coloured sneakers (as Grenson calls them) are a refreshing take on a casual shoe, inspired by tennis shoes of the Seventies. Minimal, clean, elegant and understated, they’re a smart design that can be worn with suits and smart trousers just as well as jeans, and with more than £80 off, it’s a bargain too good to miss.
