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.From Shu Uemura to Temptu, some of Japan's leading beauty brands are coming together to help - shop these products to help rebuild the country.
Designer-turned-perfumer Libertin Louison has repackaged 1,000 bottles of the house's Technique Indiscrete lavender perfume, now named For Them, to support the cause. A hundred percent of all proceeds will go to the inhabitants of severely ravaged Kanku, home of one of the perfume factories that Libertin Louison has worked with in the past. The perfume sells for €35.

L'Oréal-owned Shu Uemura is one of the country's premier luxe beauty companies, so it comes as no surprise that it feels the responsibility to help: according to StyleList, the brand will partner with beauty salons to organize fundraisers. First up: an event at New York's Wonderland Beauty Parlor, where proceeds of a $100 beauty package will support the Japanese Red Cross.
