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.

LONDON is still a major attraction for international fashion designers looking for student talent. Tonight, at the Royal College of Art's end-of-year fashion gala, Karl Lagerfeld will present a new scholarship in his name. The award is worth pounds 5,000, plus tuition fees, and will go to a first-year student.

Next week the funky American designer Anna Sui flies into London for the Esprit Graduate Fashion Week, to judge the awards show on the 24 June along with John Rocha, British Designer of the Year.

For tickets to the awards show (pounds 10) and Graduate Fashion Week, tel 071-499 5047.
