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 SYMPOSIUM organised by the Georgian Group, 'The picturesque in late Georgian England', will be held on 22 October (10am-5.30pm) at the Architectural Association, 34-36 Bedford Square, London WC1B 3ES. It celebrates the bicentenary of the publication of landscape gardener Uvedale Price's seminal Essay on the Picturesque. Eight lecturers will speak on: 18th-century tourists and their guidebooks; Decimus Burton; the role of the print in spreading the picturesque ideal; Beckford; Fonthill; woodlands in the 18th-century landscape; and other subjects. Tickets (pounds 35 to include lunch) from Dana Arnold at the Georgian Group, 37 Spital Square, London E1 6DY (071-377 1722).
