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.New research reveals that majority of Brits believe most of the country's cities are too dull, with over a third describing them as colourless. Many people feel colour has a positive lift on their mood, whilst over half of the nation think colourful surroundings are especially important during the colder months.
To help celebrate the power of colour, Dulux has launched an initiative called 'Colour Britain', which sees some of the country's most exciting illustrators produce unique pieces of artwork inspired by UK cities. The giant, hand-painted artworks have been dropped into unusual locations across the country, from giant seaside walls to extra large canvasses in city squares. Colour Britain imagery and footage of the illustrations will also be revealed through www.facebook.com/dulux
In addition, Dulux is inviting the public to suggest which village, town or city should receive its own splash of colour, using #ColourBritain on Facebook and Twitter. The most popular will be selected to receive its own unique artwork on 31 October, just after the clocks go back.
