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.

Celebrate the Epiphany and the end of the Christmas season at the centuries-old Twelfth Night festival in London tomorrow, 4 January (thelionspart.co.uk). More modern pleasures can be found in West Hollywood, where Andaz, Hyatt hotels' "casual luxury" brand, is opening on Thursday (westhollywood.hyatt.com).
In the diary...
The New Year's Eve fireworks were just the start of festivities in Sydney, where the annual Sydney Festival kicks off on 10 January (sydneyfestival.com.au). Meanwhile, Miami celebrates its architectural heritage from 16-18 January with the annual Art Deco weekend, which this year focuses on 1930s culture in Argentina (mdpl.org). And on 17 January, Mexicana will add competition to British Airways' route from London to Mexico City, when it launches direct flights from Gatwick (mexicana.com).
