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.The American Friends of the British Museum, an American charity, is raising funds for the British Museum's new North American Gallery, scheduled to open in 1997. The museum has one of the most important collections of North American archaeology and ethnography outside the United States and Canada, most of it at the moment housed in the Museum of Mankind. The new gallery will built in the old British Library premises in Bloomsbury, and will comprise one of four sections of the 'Gallery of the Americas'. The Friends are holding a fund-raising jazz evening on Wednesday 15 June, in the museum's classical sculpture galleries. For tickets and details, contact:
