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.

For those who don't fancy soggy toes this "summer", boots are the new sandals – and these fancy Pro Leather Suede basketball models from Converse are our pick of the bunch. Available in various vibrant shades including varsity red, yellow and green, they are the perfect balance of the practical and the frivolous. Available next month, £60, nationwide
Wings of desire
Heathrow? Gatwick? You don't need to endure those summer queues – instead, be among the first to try the brand-new air route from little-known Cambridge airport to Dole in the beautiful and relatively undiscovered Jura region in France. The flight time is just two hours. Flights from £65 one way at danubewings.eu
Transports of delight
These new Literary Transport notebooks from Wild & Wolf promise to "transport you elsewhere". Each one is named after a classic book and designed in the style of a vintage London bus blind relating to places mentioned in the story. There are 10 to choose from. £9.95 each, from wildandwolf.com
Through the keyhole
Juergen Teller's latest book, The Keys to the House, is a collection of snaps of the distinguished photographer's life at and around his Suffolk home. £39, published by MACK, steidlville.com
Hanging cool
Next month Cornwall Design Fair will see thousands of contemporary craft-enthusiasts descend on Penzance. From 17-19 August, there will be furniture, textiles, lighting, jewellery and accessories galore, including this slick Peanut Feeder by Green & Blue, £39.95. cornwalldesignfair.co.uk
