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.

We've had secret cinema, hidden restaurants and pop-up camping, where visitors turn up to locations disclosed at the last minute, unaware of what to expect.

This Saturday, naturism is getting the "secret" treatment, as those behind the Secret Cinema events are inviting people to join what they hope will be the world's largest skinny dip. The main event will be at this weekend's Wilderness Festival in Oxfordshire, but organisers are encouraging people from all over the country to visit secretswimming.com and arrange a swim.

But maybe those who do, should wonder whether they'd rather their skinny dips be mass events, or if they would prefer it was end-of-the-night spontaneity with friends?
