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.

The doors at The James hotel in New York are open. The stylish, homely hotel is in the heart of Soho and features an urban garden and rooftop pool ( jameshotels.com).

This week

Enjoy an inside view of the West Country: the Devon Open Studios even continues until 19 September and invites visitors to enjoy the work of artists around the county inside their homes and studios ( devonartistnetwork.co.uk). And in Peru, the international Latin American gastronomic fair Mistura is in the capital from Tuesday to Sunday, with demonstrations, talks, music and more ( mistura.pe).
