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.

We’re visiting…People’s pop-up

For those not familiar with Free People the American brand which is part of the Urban Outfitters group specialises in bohemian clothing with a vintage twist. As well as being available online, for the next 2 months the brand can be found in a pop-up shop on the third floor of London’s Selfridges. freepeople.co.uk

We love… Starry eyes

Whether you’re hiding from the paps (or overexcited Instagramming friends) or just hungover, channel the A list with Karen Walker’s latest sunnies, ‘Superstars’ – tortoiseshell styles with mirrored lenses. From £165, liberty.co.uk

We’re not sure about… Bad brows

Bushy brows are having a moment, thanks to Cara Delevingne, but not all of us can pull off Frida Kahlo caterpillars. Luckily, beauty brand Eylure is on hand with a debut collection to tease and tame to perfection. From £4.95, superdrug.com

We can’t wait for… scent of snow

We’re big fans of Jon Snow, so when the new Jimmy Choo campaign featuring the man himself (well, the actor Kit Harington) hit our inbox, you can imagine the excitement. Pre-order the shoes now, but you’ll have to wait for the debut men’s fragrance till September. jimmychoo.com
