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: Chucky Ts

The cartoon band Gorillaz were an obvious choice for a new collaboration with Converse, which sees Murdoc and co. decorating four styles of the canvas high-top shoe.

From £45, converse.com

We're not sure about: Anklet

The last time anklets were fashionable, it was "a thing" that whichever leg you wore it on sent a message to the world about your sexual predilections. The Audit thinks that this definitely isn't a concept which needs to be revisited.

We're buying: Bobbing along

It's chilly out there – have you noticed? If you have to venture outside, wrapping up in a bobble hat and scarf from ethical label Chinti and Parker is your last, best hope for stylish survival.

From £55, chintiandparker.com

We can't wait for: It's a fair cop

Fairtrade fortnight is not just an excuse to overindulge in ethically sourced chocolate and other goodies. Be sure to look out for cotton and wool pieces to update your wardrobe – there won't be a hair shirt in sight.

£40, asos.com

We're nailing it: All things nice

Meadham Kirchhoff's sugar and spice spring/summer offering was one of the stand-out shows of the season, but if your budget won't stretch to a whole garment, channel the look with these nail wraps instead.

£8, topshop.com
