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.They are usually associated with the cheesy cards, stuffed toys and foil-wrapped chocolate lollies of Valentine's Day. But red hearts are taking on a new significance with the launch of the "Red Heart" digital photo competition, in aid of the British Heart Foundation (BHF).
Working in conjunction with The Independent on Sunday, the BHF is inviting aspiring photographers to submit pictures featuring the colour red and – while they don't need to feature hearts – considering the question of "what 'heart' means to you". The winning images will be used to launch National Heart Month in February. They will be exhibited on London's South Bank, and will be published in the IoS. The competition is open to photographers of all ages, with prizes that include a masterclass with the award-winning photographer John Angerson, a Panasonic camera and digital photo frames.
