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.

The environmentally conscious community now turns its attentions to Ecobuild, March 1-3, in London and the first ever San Francisco Green Film Festival, scheduled for March 3-6. Among the films screening at the California event will be Happy People: A Year in the Taiga, by Russian director Dmitry Vasyukov and internationally acclaimed director Werner Herzog.

Ecobuild
March 1-3
ExCeL Exhibition Centre
London, UK

A showcase of the latest developments, products and companies in the world of environmentally friendly building. The exhibition attracted over 40,000 visitors in 2009 including the then British secretary of state. Unlike Enertec earlier in the year or Intersolar in June, Ecobuild is focused less on energy sources and more on sustainable construction products that can be added to existing structures.
