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.

KICKERS, the company that was started in France in 1970, is making a comeback and the original Seventies Kickers with their heavy soles, side tabs and the leather fleurette have become a cult classic. Now they have been given an update with a coat of shiny silver leather to be worn with the current crop of futuristic clothes made of reflective fabrics resembling mercury.

These shoes are as close as you will get to disco glamour if you are not at ease in a stiletto heel. They are pounds 49.99 from Schuh Clothing for Feet (0506-460 250), and from the end of September will be available at Shellys nationwide.
