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 love… Make-up maestro

Kevyn Aucoin was the make-up artist responsible for countless Vogue covers. More than a decade since his death, Space NK in Knightsbridge is holding a retrospective exhibition of his work, including snaps with his celeb pals.

We’re not sure about… Cereal bathing

When food and beauty collide, the results are often a little weird. Tesco’s range of Kellogg’s bathing gifts, including a milk bath, toast sponge and strawberry jam body scrub, is no exception.

We’re buying… Bags of style

As we head into party season, the urge to add glitter and sparkle starts to take hold. So the new metallic mini bags from the Cambridge Satchel Company, created to celebrate its new Covent Garden flagship, are just the ticket.

We’re visiting… Boy zone

Winter wardrobes in need of a revamp would do well to take a trip to Harvey Nichols which has relaunched its men’s contemporary floor this month with 22 new designers on board. Emerging streetwear brands will sit alongside more established offerings such as APC.
