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.Today: The artist Simon English releases 500 red and white balloons at Ulverston in Cumbria to mark the start of a "land art journey", retracing the steps he took for his monumental 1971 artwork All England Sculpture ( englandrevisited.net ).
This week: The first Milton Keynes International Festival runs from Friday until 25 July with a fanciful theme that includes a house-sized mechanical carousel (from the French company behind the giant Sultan's Elephant), music, dance and comedy ( ifmiltonkeynes.org ).
In the diary: Get your fill of ice-cream, music, fun and games at Ben & Jerry's Sundae on the Common in Clapham, London on 24-25 July ( benjerry.co.uk/sundae). Barcelona, Gdansk and Fuerteventura are three new destinations from Leeds/Bradford airport this winter, where Europe's biggest airline, Ryanair, is expanding its operations from late October ( ryanair.com ).
