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.

Women prefer prawns - that was the clear message that emerged yesterday from a survey of lunchtime sandwich-eating habits.

Four hundred and fifty young working women took part in the survey by Bread for Life - a campaign encouraging people to eat more bread as part of a healthy balanced diet - and one in five chose prawn on wheat germ bread as their favourite. Donna Dawson, a psychologist, feels this choice reflects an independent high flier with an interest in health and fitness.

The bacon butty came a close second with 19 per cent of votes, revealing a traditional, romantic, sociable and home-loving woman.

Egg salad on brown bread also pulled in 19 per cent of votes indicating a confident but cautious personality type.
