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.

Andy Goldsworthy, Alaska, November 1995

Today is the final day of Andy Goldsworthy's exhibition Wood at the Michael Hue-Williams Gallery, in London.

Goldsworthy, one of Britain's best-known artists, works entirely with naturally occurring materials - ice, leaves, thorns, stones, trees, sticks and mud - and has become internationally famous for his creations. Goldsworthy has just opened similar shows in both San Francisco and New York.

This picture and the inscription written and laid out by the artist to go with it (left) comes from his book Wood, published recently by Viking.
