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.

COWHIDE, SUEDE, exotic leather, snakeskin ... whichever your preference, you need a trusty ol' pair of cowboy boots. Start shopping with a spot of research at the National Cowboy Hall of Fame and Western Heritage Centre in Oklahoma City (001 405 478 2250 or visit www.cowboyhalloffame.org). Then, continue along to the Cowboy Artists of America Museum in Kerrville, Texas (001 830 896 2553). Until 20 October this art gallery-cum-library is exhibiting Western-style clothes and boots by Kathy Smith, the costume designer for the film Dances with Wolves. Nearby, at Old Republic Square, 219 Junction Hwy, Kerrville, is Hill Country Western Wear (001 830 257 7333).

A pair of Lucchese boots here would set you back $170 (£105) whereas, in the UK, a similarly stylish pair of Tony Mora boots would cost you £195 at R Soles, 109a King's Road, London SW3 (0171-351 5520).
