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.

of a Continent
The Royal Academy's Africa Exhibition is the linchpin of the current Africa '95 season. But is it everything we have been led to believe? Certainly there are extraordinary artefacts, from 27000BC to the 19th century, but how much has been changed to satisfy the requirements of political expediency? See for yourself.
From Thursday to

The Dead
Death is a great leveller. It is also the ultimate taboo. Though it happens to us all, few are prepared to confront it. Perhaps "The Dead" will help us to understand mortality. From Mafia killings to Aids and images from the morgue - here is the last enemy, in all its glory and degredation.
From Fri to 7 Jan. National Museum of Photography, Film & Television, Bradford

American Photography
1890-1965
Photography has been one of the most important mediums in 20th-century art - and especially so in the US. This exhibition, taken from the massive archives of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, should set the record straight.
To 26 Nov. Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh
