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.

AS AN exhibition of the work of the Japanese architect Tadao Ando comes to a close this week, the work of another major Japanese architect, Kisho Kurakawa, opens at the Architecture Foundation in London. Kurakawa designs massive and highly expressive buildings; the Foundation says that the design of the exhibition is the closest thing that those who have not travelled to Japan can get to the real thing.

Tadao Ando, Beyond Horizons in Architecture, until 23 July, RIBA, 66 Portland Place, London W1 (071 580 5533). Kisho Kurakawa, Recent Projects, until 27 August, Architecture Foundation, Ryder Court, 14 Ryder Street, London SW1 (071 839 9389).
