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.Finding the perfect Mother's Day card can be a real ordeal. You want your mum to know just how long you spent carefully assessing each card in the shop, determined to find something special that speaks to her unique and wonderful personality.
Nope, an insipid floral card bought hastily last minute simply will not cut it.
Like memes for grown-ups, greeting cards have really upped their game in recent years and Mother's Day is no exception.

And, in an age where family comes in all shapes and sizes, it's important not to forget the women who have a mother-like presence in our lives, whether they brought us up or not.
