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.

BIG with glamour queens is the low-slung, low-key, retro low-top we know and love as the Jack Purcell original tennis pump. Made by Converse since the Fifties - when James Dean, Marilyn Monroe and co also favoured them with jeans - they are now being spotted on the clay feet of the famous all over Beverly Hills (Linda Evangelista, Michelle Pfeiffer and Sandra Bullock to name a few). Classic design and durability make them a timeless all-American brand name, on or off the court. Jack Purcell tennis pumps cost pounds 29.99 at most branches of Cobra Sports.
