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.Along with Easter festivities and, if we’re lucky, a little glimpse of sun, springtime can feel like the perfect opportunity for a homewares revamp.

The collection has been lovingly curated by interior blogger and hygge expert, Reena Simon, and spans everything from crockery and lighting to side tables and blankets.
And with appearances from the retailer’s budget Anyday range, you’ll find some very affordable price points too.
As an ode to Scandinavian interior design, the collection aims to foster a sense of coziness and calm in the home, and with simple and understated designs that are built to last, we’ve pulled a handful of our favourite gems from the retailer’s collection that are sure to breathe a little serenity into your living space.
