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.

We love: Ape’s adventure

A collaboration between the Andaz hotel and the Old Spitalfield Market means alternative festive fun. Keep your eye out for their installations: gleaming golden primates sitting in the hotel window, and popping up around the market. andaz.hyatt.com

We’re not sure about: Bro-tox

Shield your eyes from this wrinkle-inducing news: extreme male grooming habits are on the rise. 111 Harley Street reveal the number of male patients having treatments such as Botox has risen 25 per cent in 2013

We’re buying: Little Lacroix

Petit Bateau’s latest designer collaboration has had us racing to the shops: Monsieur Christian Lacroix, offering his take on the quintessentially Gallic Breton sweater. Expect absolutely fabulous flounces and coquettish velvet bows. petit-bateau.com

We can’t wait for: Mono-mas

The monochrome trend shows no sign of abating – so head to The Other Shop to experience a Christmas grotto entirely in black and white. A collaboration with Darkroom, you’ll find everything from accessories to baked goods (really) in the shady shades. other-shop.com
