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.

With his sleeves rolled up, eyes shaded by sunglasses and a cigarette in hand, a relaxed John Lennon is captured in a rare private moment in this previously unseen photo. Taken by David Spindel at the recording of Lennon's 1980 album Double Fantasy, released just three weeks before he was murdered in New York by Mark Chapman, the black and white images form part of an exhibition opening at London's Proud Gallery on 7 December. Timed to coincide with the 27th anniversary of the ex-Beatle's death, "Remember Love: John Lennon" showcases famous shots of the singer alongside images never before viewed by the public, and will run until next March.
