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.

LIBRARY is a menswear shop with a bookish edge that opens later this month at stylish Brompton Cross in central London.

Owned by ex-Joseph designer and buyer Peter Siddell, in partnership with a colleague from his earlier days at Jones, Aaron Firth, Library will sell labels including Dirk Bikkembergs, Paul Smith, Antonio Miro, and an own-label line of Library knitwear.

But Library will also carry a wide selection of reference books on art, architecture, travel, textiles and fashion - indeed, anything that might provide information for fashion folk.

Regular exhibitions of old clothing are also promised. 'Like a real library, we want to mix the old and the modern,' says Siddell.
