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.

Campden Hill Square, near Kensington Palace, has been home to several literary residents,including the Nobel prize-winning playwright Harold Pinter, pictured in 2005, and his wife Lady Antonia Fraser, who worte about life there in her memoirs. Evelyn Underhill, left, known for her writings on religion in the early 20th century, and Charles Morgan, the novelist, journalist and playwright, pictured far left with his wife, also lived there.
