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.

More than 100 unseen works from artists ranging from Super Furry Animals illustrator Pete Fowler to Flanimals illustrator Rob Steen will be on display at the Monsters Inked exhibition in London, which opens on Wednesday. An interactive monsters' den is also planned for children over the Easter weekend (ideageneration.co.uk). Also on Wednesday, the summer season gets underway in Copenhagen when the Tivoli gardens open. Events for this summer will include a new ride, concerts and a royal pantomime (tivoli.dk). East goes west when contemporary sculptures from China land in the Millennium Park in Chicago on Thursday. The four large-scale sculptures by leading artists will stay in the park until autumn 2010 (millenniumpark.org).
