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.

NEXT year will be the 150th anniversary of the birth of the great plantswoman and gardener Gertrude Jekyll. The Museum of Garden History at St Mary at Lambeth, Lambeth Palace Road, London SE1, is planning a celebration to mark the event. It is appealing to anyone who has Jekyll artefacts that the museum might borrow for the duration of next year's exhibition, which will run from 6 May till 8 August. Contact Phyllida Smeeton at the museum (071-261 1891).
