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.

Britain's great maritime attraction, the Cutty Sark, is to become a black-tie corporate venue, with sponsoring company logos beamed on to its floodlit masts, under ambitious conservation plans.

A marketing drive entitled "Cutty Sark at Night" will see the fire-damaged Victorian tea clipper, in dry dock at Greenwich, host events ranging from champagne dinners and wedding banquets to product launches and "bespoke" tea parties once the current £35m Lottery-funded project to encase its lower hull in a "glass bubble" is completed in 2009.
