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.

1. Have your portrait sketched. Takes 20 mins, costs pounds 15. A caricature takes five mins and costs pounds 3. Try the lower ground floor of the Trocadero, Piccadilly Circus, WC1.

2. Shop at a tourist shop Wander into Crest of London (Leicester Sq WC1) or City of London (Shaftesbury Ave WC1) and spend pounds 5.75 on an 'I got absolutely pissed in London' T-shirt. Traditionalists will prefer the 'My Mum went to London and all I got was this lousy T-shirt'.

3. Buy fish & chips from 'Fish & Chips At the 'Great British Invention' in Leicester Sq WC1. Cost: pounds 3.50.

4. Visit The Guinness World of Records at the Trocadero. What a trip. Adult admission: pounds 5.75

5. Walk down Carnaby Street, W1. Costs absolutely nothing, feels like absolutely nothing.
