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.

Picture of the day: Canaletto's Greenwich Hospital from the north bank of the Thames, probably painted to mark the completion of the Hospital buildings in 1751. It is part of a new exhibition celebrating the 300th anniversary of the founding of the Royal Hospital for Seamen at Greenwich (still a welfare foundation for seamen and their families) in the Queen's House at the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich. Among exhibits in this show are Turner's largest work, The Battle of Trafalgar, 21 October 1805, portraits by Reynolds and Gainsborough, and fine marine paintings of the 18th and 19th centuries (081-858 4422) to Nov.
