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.

"Versilia Fish Restaurant (Palace Court, 250 Finchley Rd, London NW3; 0171-794 7640) is a quiet, safe haven rather than a fashion spot, with the best Italian cooking in all London, and the best trained waiters. I would never, ever, rather have stayed at home - this, for me, is saying a great deal. Bruno, the proprietor, from Versilia in Tuscany, is elegant and kind. His beautiful wife, Donatella, from Trieste, cooks the lightest fried zuccini ever. And try the salmon carpaccio or the hot crab."

Fay Weldon's play `The Four Alice Bakers' opens at the Birmingham Rep (0121-236 4455) on 23 Feb
