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.

Long trumpeted as the home of the London art scene, Hackney is throwing open the studio doors for the next two weekends with more than 250 of the borough's artists available for public inspection. The event is now in its fourth year and participants range from established names, such as fashion designer Abe Hamilton and sculptor Tom Hill, to newcomers such as Helena Ivins who will be selling giftboxes from her living room at 69 Nile Street. Shoreditch Town Hall has 50 designers displaying and selling, while Broadway Market at the bottom of London Fields, will be a temporary home for more than 20 artists. In short, the event answers two burning questions of the moment: what's all the fuss about art in Hackney and what can you buy everyone for Christmas?

Today, Sun & 5, 6 Dec. Info: 0171-729 3301
