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.

Billington's fly the flag for unrefined sugars with a large range of sticky, sweet granules, from the palest gold to deep-brown fudgy molasses sugar. The latest sugar to be added to their range is organic, the colour of demerara with a more pronounced treacley scent.
Evidently being organic is not enough to ensure ethical production. Billington's claims to have one over on some other organic sugars in being produced without the use of sulphuric acid and sodium hydroxide. It is made from pressing out, cleaning and crystallising the juice from sugar cane - escaping the additional processes for refining brown and white sugars. Available from Sainsbury's and selected healthfood and wholefood stores at pounds 1.29 for 500g.
Fish food
If you've been patiently counting off the days of August until you can have your first native oyster of the season, then you could do worse than take a trip to Hay's Galleria on Sunday 1 September for the annual Oyster and Seafood Fair. It actually starts on the Friday, but you'll have to make do with Pacific oysters for the first two days. There will be a wide range of fish and seafood for sale, cooked and raw, as well as a Champagne and Oyster bar, and a Pimms bar Hay's Galleria, London Bridge City, Tooley St, London SE1. Fri 11am-7pm, Sat 11am-6pm, Sun 11am-5pm
