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.

Four months ago Harvey Nichols opened an impressive contemporary men's designer department in the store basement that gave space to leading names such as Dolce e Gabbana, Adolfo Dominguez, Oliver by Valentino, and Nicole Farhi.
Not to be outdone, Harrods is planning to turn stockrooms in the basement into a designer men's clothing department and is installing new escalators and lifts. Harrods' ambitious plans are unlikely to be complete before early 1994, but in the meantime the store intends to promote labels such as Versace, Nicole Farhi, Moschino and Dries Van Noten.
On Oxford Street, Selfridges has plans to add another 600 square metres to its menswear department by autumn 1993. For this autumn, new labels include Moschino's Cheap'n'Chic, Jasper Conran, and Joe, a new lower-priced collection from Joseph Abboud, the US designer.
