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.

THE TRADITIONAL images of romance, youth and beauty have been forsaken in an unusual pictorial calendar for the new year.

Entitled The Twelve Faces of Age, the new publication concentrates on older people and features a variety of photographs which include a couple using walking frames, old people lifting weights, and the image above - captured by Mark Hakansson - of a woman enjoying an aquatic aerobics workout. The calendar's publisher, Nick Hayes, said: 'What we've got above all is more humour and wit than you would ever imagine.'
