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.

A FIRST BIG London show for Chris Ofili (right), the Jerwood and Turner prize-nominated man of the moment who paints super-decorative swirls smattered with lumps of elephant dung. Behind all the glitter and the silly titles lies a serious attack on society's racial and sexual stereotypes.

Serpentine Gallery, Kensington Gardens, London W2 (0171-402 6075) to 1 Nov

Stephen Chambers is another painter whose instant, decorative appeal masks more lingering concerns. This exhibition of his subtly layered paintings selected from work made over the last seven years marks the beginning of his year-long Fellowship at Kettles Yard.

Kettles Yard, Castle Street, Cambridge (01223 352124) to 1 Nov
