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.

In view of renewed concern about the effects of Sellafield on the nation's long-term health, John Darwell's photographic exhibition at Salford's Viewpoint Gallery is a timely reminder of the enduring legacy of the Nuclear Age. For First and Last (right), he visited Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1995 to capture the rituals that take place on the anniversary of the atomic bomb drops in 1945. Meanwhile, at Carlisle's Mill Gallery, By Association presents Darwell's landscape photogaphs made at major nuclear testing and production sites around the world, including the desert sites where the Japanese nuclear bombs were tested, and the Chernobyl reactor, post meltdown.

Viewpoint Gallery, Salford (0161-737 1040) to 14 Sept; Mill Gallery, Carlisle (01228 515641) to 20 Sept
