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.

A 500-seat cinema, which boasts a huge 270-degree screen, could mean the end of Waterloo's Cardboard City for homeless people. The IMAX cinema, with its glass walls and 'green roof of foliage, would be the second of its kind in Britain - there is one operating in Bradford. Lambeth council is set to give planning permission to the British Film Institute this month.

Local conservation group The Waterloo Trust has slammed the design as a 'neo-modernist gasometer despite The Royal Fine Art Commission's approval.
