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.FEED YOUR mind and body at the Blake Head Bookshop and Vegetarian Cafe in York. Set among the old buildings and historical streets of the city, the excellent vegetarian cafe is the place to retreat to with a stack of newly purchased books. While away the afternoon in literary heaven or return to the shop to pick up a bargain. All the books are at reduced prices so it's also a good place to find last-minute presents. Or dash across the road to the Blake Head Record Shop to purchase some vinyl.
Blake Head Bookshop and Cafe (01904 623 767) is at 104 Micklegate, York, and opens from Mon-Sun, between 9am and 5.45pm (cafe open from 9.30am- 5.30pm Mon-Sat and 10am-5.30pm on Sundays)
