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...

Leapfrog

The Audit will be acting its shoe size rather than its age in these retro wellies inspired by the goggle-eyed frog boots that were the height of cool in the playgrounds of yore. Available for pre-order now, they're perfectly timed for puddle leaping. £24.99, thewellyshop.com

We're not sure about...

Cindy's clothes

Regular visitors to the continent will know that although C&A may have disappeared from our shores, it's certainly not dead and buried. Despite its European cachet, the department store is still a surprising choice to launch Cindy Crawford's clothing line.

We're buying…

Specs appeal

Who says that guys don't make passes at girls who wear glasses? Venerable Savile Row label Hardy Amies has just launched a refined collection of spectacles and sunglasses for men and women that embody the house's refined craftsmanship. £270, hardyamieseyewear.com

We can't wait for...

FNO

When it comes to shopping, it seems we don't need much encouragement – Vogue's Fashion's Night Out turns four this week. A host of London retailers have something special planned for the economy boosting initiative on Thursday, such as this Jonathan Saunders T-shirt designed exclusively for Gap. £18, gap.eu

We're saving up for…

Mother, may I?

Every season, ultra-luxe label Mother of Pearl asks a different designer to channel its sportswear aesthetic. For autumn/winter it's the turn of American Fred Tomaselli, known for his highly detailed paintings and collages on wooden panels. Shirt £345, jacket £790, avenue32.com
