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.

GOYA'S "Los Desastres de la Guerra", one man's nightmare of the Napoleonic invasion of Spain, gives the title to Disasters of War: Callot, Goya, Dix, the touring exhibition of prints from the British Museum. Sixty-nine of Goya's 82 prints are on show, along with Jacques Callot's "Miseries of War", and Otto Dix's vision of life in the trenches, "War", which includes the etching Stormtroops advance under gas (detail, above).

The Pier Arts Centre at Stromness on Orkney is one of the most surprising and appealing galleries in the country. Permanent home to Margaret Gardiner's collection of English modernist work of the Thirties and Forties, it also hosts excellent temporary exhibitions, few better than the current show, Green Waters, a poetic collaboration between Ian Hamilton Finlay, Ian Stephen and Graham Rich.

Victoria Street, Stromness (01856 850209) to 26 Sept
