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.TO coincide with this month's celebration of Spanish art, architecture and design, the Royal Academy's RA magazine has commissioned Santiago Calatrava, the Spanish architect and engineer, to design a footbridge across the Thames linking Bankside Power Station on the south side - one of the proposed sites for the Museum of Modern Art - with St Paul's Cathedral on the north bank. A model of the bridge reveals a design in striking contrast with the overt solidity of exisiting bridges across the Thames. An exhibition of Dr Calatrava's projects is on show at the Bruton Street Gallery, London W1, until 26 March. Models include his scheme for the 'greening' of St John the Divine Cathedral, New York, a modular station design for London Underground and a pedestrian bridge linking Salford with Manchester. Dr Calatrava will speak at the Royal Society of Arts on 22 March and the Arnolfini Gallery, Bristol, on 23 March.
