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.

For those Londoners unable to get down to Dover this weekend to protest against live exports, a trip to Animal World represents an alternative means (you won't get arrested) of registering your outrage at cruelty to animals such as Nat the Beagle (right). Billed as "the biggest exhibition of animal welfare groups and companies ever seen in Europe", the show, which coincides with Lab Animal Week, includes displays from Animal Aid, Beauty Without Cruelty and the National Anti-Vivisection Society, together with family activities and a celebrity auction. And if your wardrobe needs a boost, look no further than the cruelty-free catwalk where models will be highlighting the latest trends in Vegetarian Shoes and the baffling "must-have customised" sheepskin-look jacket.

Barbican Centre, EC2 (0171-638 8891) from today to Sun
