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.

Founded by the Olsen twins in 2006, The Row is famed for its androgynous designs, boxy silhouettes and minimalist staples. From its banana sling crossbody bag to fisherman sandals, pieces from the New York-born label instantly rise to cult status.
A must-have since launching in 2019, The Row’s zip-front boots are a firm favourite among the tastemaker set. Charactised by their exaggerated sole, ankle shaft height and silver front zip fastening, everyone from models Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Hailey Bieber to actress and singer Zoe Kravitz have plumped for a pair.
But with their £1,300 price tag, not everyone will be rushing out to buy the boots for themselves. But fear not, we’ve found a near-identical dupe from the high street that will save you money this season and help complete your cold-weather wardrobe.
Costing just £40, the pair features the same chunky sole and front zip detailing. If you’re looking to get the luxe look for less this autumn, here’s where to shop Asos’s The Row-inspired boots.
