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.

"This is a tragedy - a list of wine (1) that was stolen from my house. My son painted the ladybird (2) paperweight for me at school; he gets terribly upset if I don't keep it on my desk. A Japanese photographer (3) brought me in a proposal for a book. I'm very interested in contemporary Japanese photography - how they look at themselves and relate to their culture. Some guys from MTV approached us with an idea for a book about sneakers (4). We don't have a format as I really believe its shape and feel must reflect the concept inside. People come to us with ideas, if it's good enough I'll give them an air ticket so they can go and make it work. Shootback (5) is a really interesting idea - children in the slums of Nairobi photographing each other. Some of it is really disturbing. I keep every article I see on Alexander McQueen (6), I'm fascinated by him. I have a very large collection of illustrations which are housed in a museum in Hull, these are marvellous old cigarette advertisements (7) that someone had thrown out."
