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.

Coney Island, the sun, the sea, a slice of pizza and a sprinkling of goose pimples. The day before these pictures were taken, it snowed in New York City. In fashion's calendar, summer clothes are available only in winter; when the temperature hits 70F, summer dresses and bikinis are gathered on to the sale rails. For the complete holiday wardrobe, tailored for when sea breezes run high, don't forget a cotton cardigan and a pair of hot pants to pull on over your string bikini.
