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...
Balthazar
Forget the myth that fashion and food don’t mix. There was much excitement among guests at the London shows that the New York institution has finally opened a brasserie and two super chic bakeries on this side of the Pond. Yes, that’s the sound of our tummies rumbling you can hear.
We're not sure about...
Me and Mariah
In the battle for supremacy between the American Idol judges, The Audit is Team Carey all the way. At the risk of incurring the online wrath of Nicki Minaj’s militant fans, it just can’t get behind this new scent from the princess of pink.

Pinko bags
Revealed just days ago at a fashion-week event in Milan, Pinko has teamed up with the organisation Fashion 4 Development to relaunch the brand’s iconic totes of the Nineties, this time working with skilled craftspeople in Ethiopia for a project with trade, not aid, at its heart. £65, pinko.it
We can’t wait for…
Raf Simons for Adidas
Clumpy and colourful, ugly shoes are great! Even more so when they are as comfy as they look – no plasters here, please. The new designs by Raf Simons for Adidas are a thing of orthopaedic excellence. Just a shame we have to wait until autumn to get our hands, and poor feet, on them. adidas.co.uk
We can’t wait for…
New LN-CC
Just in time for the influx of new fashions, one of the best London shopping spots, the LN-CC, has given its unique bricks-and-mortar store a makeover. With brands such as Dries Van Noten, Jil Sander and Rick Owens, the work of the excellent buying team is definitely going to get us in hot water with the bank manager. ln-cc.com
