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.

Other riverside restaurants
Riverside Brasserie Bray Marina, Bray, Berkshire, tel: 01628 7805 530 This marina is not exactly Monte Carlo and nor is this casual brasserie as high-falutin' as its Michelin two-starred big brother, the Fat Duck. But molecular gastronomer Heston Blumenthal's second restaurant is a hit with locals and day-trippers, with its great food (braised pork belly and chorizo, roast gilt-head bream and escabeche of red mullet) and a duck's eye view of the Thames from the decked terrace.
Oxo Tower Restaurant Oxo Tower Wharf, Barge House Street, London SE1, tel: 020 7803 3888 Harvey Nichols's popular Waterloo restaurant lays on some truly spectacular views along the Thames and across to St Paul's. Service is sleek, the feel is minimal chic, and the cooking is that nice balance of British and French (with Japanese touches) that manages to be light yet full of flavour at the same time. One of London's more reliable nights out.
River Cafe Thames Wharf, Rainville Road, London W6, tel: 020 7386 4200 Rarely has good Italian peasant food come with such decadent price tags, but if you want deliberately unrefined flavours that will blow you out of the water, this is where to go. Ruth Rogers and Rose Gray pillage Italy and Britain for the best of regional produce, resulting in such dishes as the perfect asparagus risotto, succulent roasted guinea fowl and chargrilled leg of spring lamb.
