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.

Four “important works” by L.S Lowry are among a collection of 20th Century British artwork due to be auctioned next Wednesday.

The sale, at Sotheby’s auction house in London, also includes rare paintings by sculptor Henry Moore, oil paintings by Bloomsbury Group member Duncan Grant and fine sketches by Augustus John.

‘Head’ by Barbara Hepworth is another highlight, as is Stanley Spencer’s ‘Portrait of Lady Slesser’.
