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.

HAPPILY NESTLED round the corner from Blue Note, Lux Cinema and 333, the former Shoreditch Electricity Showrooms has been doing a luvverly trade in East End charm since it opened a few weeks ago as a bar/gallery. Attracting a largely local crowd, plus the usual Hoxton Square suspects, the venue has an unpretentious, experimental feel with its high ceilings, huge windows and use of space (being a Twenties showroom, there's a lot of it). An eclectic music policy on evenings, running from dance to jazz has kept punters happy so far, as has the unusual downstairs gallery. Go trip the light fantastic.

Shoreditch Electricity Showrooms, 39a Hoxton Square, London N1, 0171 739 6934. Open 7 days a week, 11am to 11pm. Hero Brown
