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.

THE THIRD and final Independent Traveller's World Exhibition takes place today and tomorrow at the Birmingham County Ground, Edgbaston in Birmingham. As well as advice and information on cheap flights, expeditions, activity holidays, working abroad, health, travel equipment and guidebooks, there are talks by 'travel writers, enthusiasts and eccentrics'. Today at 12.30, for example, Simon Calder will talk about Guyana. At 2pm Frank Barrett, the Independent travel correspondent, will talk about writing and selling travel articles. At 3.30pm Simon and Frank will take part in a travellers' question time.

Admission to the exhibition today or tomorrow (10am to 6pm) costs pounds 2.50; a two-day ticket costs pounds 4.
