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.

Stage 1: York artist Karri Furre covers the face of Paul Scarrow, a GP from Retford, in Nottinghamshire, with moulding materials as he prepares to have his whole body used to create a life-size glass-fibre model.

Stage 2: The plaster cast of his faced is removed. It will be fitted with glass eyes and a wig before going on display in a Victorian operating theatre at the new pounds 5m Thackray Museum in Leeds.

Stage 3: Ms Furre releases the fibre-glass and plaster cast of Dr Scarrow, who won his modelling session in the BBC's Children in Need auction last year. The Scarrow family bid pounds 2,650 for the privilege. Photographs: Steve Forrest
