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.

"I think different stones are relevant to various moments we experience in our lives, it's kind of like reading a book. The purple beads (1) represent air. I just woke up one morning and I felt I knew how to make a chakra necklace. Most of my inspiration comes in dreams. On the stand (2) is a selection of my necklaces - there's a male energy one as I think guys need a bit of help. I bought the coaster (3) as one of a set of four in a gallery in Portobello. Frank (4) is one of my Persian cats. There is another one called Betty. They stay up late with me if I'm working and are really good company. I have these ambidextrous scissors (5) because I am left-handed with scissors and right-handed with everything else. Left-handed scissors are useless as you can't see what you're doing. If you divide the desk up under feng shui principles, the left hand-corner (6) is for prosperity, it's good to have something red in that section. I have to keep my desk really neat. Even if I've finished a project and I'm going to be using some of the same materials, I still tidy them away and take them out when I need them. It's cathartic I suppose."
