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.

Rhodes around the City: Celebrity chef Gary Rhodes has teamed up with Gardner Merchant, Britain's largest catering company, to provide catering services for his new restaurant in the Square Mile.

The restaurant, called City Rhodes, is due to open for lunch and early dinner on 14 January. Mr Rhodes, best known for his popular television series promoting the virtues of British cuisine, will become Gardner Merchant's executive chef and train more than 300 of its cooks each year at the restaurant.

He is pictured (left) discussing dishes to be served at the restaurant with Garry Hawkes, Gardner's chairman and chief executive.

Gardner Merchant used to be part of the Forte group, but is now owned by Sodhexo of France.
