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 Federation of British Artists (FBA) is celebrating its 50th anniversary this month with an exhibition of British gems which opens tomorrow.

Pure Gold, hosted by the Mall Galleries in London, will feature works by Edgar Degas, Walter Sickert, John Singer Sargent and Augustus John among others.

Although founded in 1961, the individual societies which make up the FBA date back to 1823, which is why the exhibition covers British artists from then to the present day.

The exhibition will run until the 19th of February.
