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.

A display of trousers and shoes silhouetted against the skyline at the Broadgate development in the City of London, featured in the Unnatural Bodies exhibition, mounted by the artist Jim Whiting, which opened yesterday. The exhibition consists of everyday objects such as coats, suits and handbags transformed into a mobile spectacle by pulleys, winches and compressed air, which has given rise to some complaints from the surrounding offices. The half-mechanical, half-humanoid creations hover, whirl and crawl their way through and around the 12-metre (40ft) high cage in Exchange Square. Actors dressed as members of the public are also giving lunchtime performances of behaviour that is 'exaggerated and unnatural'.
