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.Fashion: Hulme delivery
Sophie Hulme has gone from strength to strength since graduating as Student of the Year in 2007 from Kingston University. With her collections now stocked in b Store and Opening Ceremony, the designer has had a vote of confidence from the industry and shoppers alike. And why not? Her masculine-informed tailoring and severe cuts are perfect for now, while you should start saving for the sleek and boxy leather handbags from the autumn/winter 2011 range. sophiehulme.com
