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.

Bonhams Chelsea modern and contemporary picture sale: Tuesday, 11am. An indulgence for curio-seekers that is easy on the pocket. Most estimates under pounds 200, plenty under pounds 100. Condition apart, something irresistible will leap out - Dick Leech's Portrait of a Cockney Lady perhaps (no estimate), or Two Ladies Digging for Ants, Kangaroo Dreaming, signed Emily (est pounds 200-pounds 300). But you are unlikely to carry off Feliks Topolski's charcoal- and-wash portrait of Nubar Gulbenkian for the come-on estimate of pounds 200- pounds 300.
