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.Trafalgar Square is one of those places, like Leicester Square, that Londoners often avoid, because it has so many tourists and messed-up people in it and because . . . well, just because. But here's the place, if you want, to get a glimpse - from the shelter of the porticoed steps of the National Gallery - of that picture postcard that out-of-towners think of as being this gorgeous scuzzy city. From this protected eyrie you can see it all: people snogging under the lions, people sniffing glue and falling in the fountains, coppers moving them on. And from 19 October you can go inside for a wallow in the glories of Michelangelo.
