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.

Londoners were greeted with a special treat from the Cayman Islands Department of Tourism, who brought an interactive slice of the incredible picturesque Cayman Islands to busy central London.

The 3D artwork portrays Stingray City, one of the most iconic locations of Grand Cayman, where visitors can touch, stroke and even kiss the hundreds of friendly rays that gather in the area. According to Cayman folklore, kissing a ray results in seven years good luck and Londoners were all too eager to pucker up as the artwork toured the capital!
