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.

Bear essentials: Four teddies sitting on display at the Christmas Collectors' Auction yesterday at Saffron Walden Auctions, in Essex. The hundreds of lots included all kinds of toys - from Victorian dolls and clockwork train sets, to James Bond Aston Martin model cars (with the little driver intact), and these French and German teddy bears. The photograph, by Brian Harris, was taken with a 35mm lens, at 1/60th of a second, at f2, on Fuji 800 ASA film.
