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.

July 21 – July 27, 2023

Catholic parishioners in Paraguay don bird-like costumes and parade in the streets to honor a 16th century saint said to possess miraculous powers. Drivers and fans fight to bring car racing out of hiding in Cuba where vehicle competitions have been prohibited for six decades. And in Peru, an antigovernment demonstrator holding a pink, fake gun stands inside a Barbie box labeled “Barbie Dictator.”

This gallery highlights some of the most compelling images made or published in the past week by Associated Press photographers in Latin America and the Caribbean.

The selection was curated by photojournalist Fernando Vergara in Bogota.
