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.Hope, the flyleaf tells us, is `with us as an instinct, a feeling, an impulse, as an insistent human reflex in the face of negativism and despair'. Hope Photographs collates 107 different incarnations, forms and images of hope from different times, from all around the world: we have young men attempting to become airborne in Rouzat in 1910; fiery jets from young stars, as seen from Arizona; an octogenarian clutching a paper cone of yellow flowers, visiting his friend in hospital in Berlin; Portuguese immigrants waltzing in the street in Shantytown; a man building himself a small pyramid in Egypt; Irish punks looking out to sea in Galway; and Nicholas Nixon's `Clementine, Cambridge, 1992', right.
