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: Taking liberties

These pretty printed classic eighteyelet rubber soled boots call for a floaty dress, a rich wine lip and plenty of angst. Angela Chase et al would die to be missing these.

Liberty x Dr Martens, £170, liberty.co.uk

We're not sure about: Chain reaction

When it comes to fashion misses The Audit prides itself on being an equal-opportunity source of judgement. After bringing you leg chains for men, how could these be ignored? Look out for couples in his'n'hers coming soon to a circle of hell near you.

We're buying: Drip, drip, drip

You may not have noticed the recent scattered light showers – trifling things, really – but your barnet will most certainly have done. This weatherproof spray is for those whose hair has got the frizz factor but aren't ready to rock the older-lady clear-plastic rain bonnet.

£9.20, philipkingsley.co.uk

We can't wait for: Keeping it in the family

Siblings Zoe & Morgan create quirky fine and fashion jewellery ranging from the dainty to the statement from ethically mined materials. This one-off flash sale of their wares will definitely be worth bunking off work early for (we won't tell if you don't).

11 May, 12-8.30pm, 51 Beak Street, London W1

We're saving up for: La Dolce Vita

Boris, schmoris, this is the only bike to be seen on this year. Courtesy of Messrs Dolce and Gabbana, the Animalier comes quipped with 24-karat gold gilding, a bell and, of course, the duo's signature big cat print.

€1,600 (£1,300), 75 Sloane Street, London SW1, 020 7201 0980
