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.An exhibition of early works by Gertrude Jekyll celebrating the 150th anniversary of her birth opens on 18 May at Pashley Manor, Ticehurst, East Sussex. The owners have brought the garden back to life over the last 12 years and though 1,000 trees were lost in the great gale of 1987, 5,000 more have been planted. The house is open Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday (11am-5pm); admission pounds 2.50. Entrance to the exhibition, open until 10 June, is an extra pounds 1.
