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.

Paul Klee exhibition in Paris
April 14-July 19
Musée de l'Orangerie
Paris, France
This exhibition organized with the Beyeler Fondation from Basel (Switzerland) presents a selection of masterpieces by Swiss artist Paul Klee (1879-1940) collected since the 1940's by Ernst Beyeler. The collector gathered works covering the entire career of the painter, but he focused on the later part of his career rather than the early one, therefore the Paris exhibition follows the same trend.
