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.

The Whitworth began life as a teaching institution in 1897, full of reproductions and antique casts, but soon began to build two distinct collections of original work. The first strength was a fine survey of early English watercolours, including first-rate examples by Turner, Girtin, Cotman, Cozens and Blake. The second, appropriately for a town that made its fortune from the mills, was a textile collection to rank alongside that of the V&A. Both of these areas continue to be well represented in the gallery, as do more recent acquisitions, particularly of later-20th-century British painting, including excellent works by the St Ives painters Roger Hilton and Peter Lanyon.The result of this three-way mix is a gallery well worth visiting, whatever your taste.
