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.

British manbag maestros Cherchbi are getting lots of buzz for their new collection of handsome men's accessories – from satchels to laptop cases – all made from Herringbone cotton. Available online (in various fabrics) from £185. They also do iPad sleeves and belts. Cherchbi.com
March on
Head for the hills this coming Jubilee weekend, to the new Welsh Coastal Path in Carmarthenshire. From 1-4 June, the Llanelli Festival of Walks weaves through hidden villages, breathtaking ridges and sandy dunes across Llanelli, Brecon Beacons and Carmarthenshire. £6 per person per walk, book at llanelliramblers.org.uk
What a pair
Belgian designers Muller Van Severen combine industrial materials with "traditional kitchen colours" – red for meat, green for veg. The result? Swoonsome furniture, such as this illuminated 'seat for two' – yours for €3,900 (£3,123). To buy, contact valerietraan.be; 00 32 475 75 94 59
Mix and match
Waste not, want not. Topshop debut their 'upcycled' capsule collection, starring off-key jersey dresses, denim rucksacks and two-tone jeans. All fashioned from off-cuts and excess stock. From 8 June; topshop.com
Ding dong!
Big Ben is about to join the skyline of international miniatures in Lego's Architecture range, which already includes the Guggenheim Museum, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House and the Sydney Opera House. Back off, kids! £24.99, from 2 June, architecture.lego.com
Go veggie
The Onion's Great Escape is no ordinary children's story. Tear along perforated lines and each beautifully-drawn page peels away; by the last page, the book – by Italian illustrator Sara Fanelli – folds into an onion. More alluring in real life than it sounds, and no smell. £14.95, Phaidon
