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.

London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic games organisers have commissioned a series of posters from 12 of the UK's best-known artists in celebration of the games.

The images, which were unveiled today, will go on show at Tate Britain in a free exhibition as part of the London 2012 Festival in the summer of 2012 and are available to buy as posters and prints.

Artists and designers from Tracey Emin to Martin Creed and Rachel Whiteread join the ranks of David Hockney, Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol, who have all designed posters for previous Olympic games.

More information on the 2012 festival and the official Games posters can be found at www.london2012.com
