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.

By now you're probably aware that shocking pink is the must-have colour for spring. Rich and confident types will go for the full blast of head-to-toe fuschia, but you don't have to join them: for less than pounds 15, a bright lipstick or nail varnish will do the trick. Spend a little more - on sequinned sandals, a skirt or a lace-edged vest - and an otherwise sober wardrobe will get an instant injection of spring fever. In other words: think pink
