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.

One Day has one of the most powerful arguments yet for not cycling in London; Boris Johnson would hate it.

Bambi-eyed Anne Hathaway is Emma, a smart Yorkshire lass who is smitten with Jim Sturgess's Dex, an arrogant but charming toff in Lone Scherfig's slushy and beautiful-looking adaptation of David Nicholls's bestseller. Em and Dex meet as students, and have a one-night stand before deciding to be pals and meeting up every year. He becomes a yoof-TV presenter; she serves tacos, then teaches, then becomes a novelist. Dex marries; Em dates a gag-free comedian. It's mawkish, moving and the central pairing – despite Hathaway's dodgy accent – are lovely together.
