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.

Henry Wyndham helping to plant some of the 1 million daffodil bulbs that Sotheby's has donated to the Royal Parks. It is one of several projects the auction house is sponsoring to mark its 250th anniversary next year. Mr Wyndham, who takes over as chairman of Sotheby's UK in February, led a team of Sotheby's experts who had volunteered to plant bulbs in St James's Park, London, yesterday.
