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.

Damien Hirst’s latest image showing the rainbow heart design he created for our Help the Hungry appeal superimposed onto an iconic British landmark is published today.

The image of Battersea Power Station by the Turner-prize winning artist was created to help promote the sale of limited-edition prints of the rainbow heart design that was launched this week.

The sale ends at midnight on Monday. The rainbow heart design comes in two sizes, priced at £300 and £1,000.

The larger version of the image, which is filled with butterflies, is 70cm by 72.7cm and the smaller one is 35cm by 36.4cm.

All money raised through sales of the design will go to our appeal partner, The Felix Project, London’s biggest surplus food distributor.

The Independent is encouraging readers to help groups that are trying to feed the hungry during the crisis – find out how you can help here.

The two versions of the butterfly heart print are available to buy through HENI Editions here.
