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.

Photography is essential to making my art. With the new work (right), I'm using myself as the model and photos are a way of being able to see myself as an object. I took this photograph (left) in front of the bathroom mirror. I like having domestic social photographs in my album. Seen alongside the distortions they emphasise the undercurrents of real life. I refer to my album every day. It's my source book. MARC QUINN

'Emotional Detox', Marc Quinn's series of lead body-casts is at the Tate to 20 Aug
