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.

Penelope Gibbs'S excellent account of the city's art nouveau architecture correctly describes the Musee Horta in Brussels as "not big or grand" (Travel, 27 April). But the photo of a large building said to be the Museum was the Palais des Beaux-Arts.

Those looking for De Ultieme Hallucinatie bar will not find it in rue Boyd - there is no such street - but in rue Royale (Koningstraat in Dutch). The Tassel House occasionally opens to the public on the "Journee du Patrimoine/Open Monumentdag" weekends in September; as do other buildings normally closed to the public.
