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.

Loving... wind turbines

The Carbon Trust has launched a new online tool to help businesses and individuals who are considering installing a wind turbine calculate their carbon emissions and how much money they will save. It's been created using 30 years of data from the Met Office's 220 weather stations and is available at www.carbontrust.co.uk.

Hating... Mother's day

It's an annual struggle to find something fitting to buy the most important lady in your life. Luckily, on www.emmabridgewater.co.uk you will find everything you could possibly desire to appease your mum. Check out the chunky teapots and pretty glasses or get her something personalised by Ms Bridgewater.

Buying... Dot lights

Dot lights are identical to those used in overhead lighting, but they're moveable. The battery-powered LEDs can be attached using an adhesive or Velcro backing. There are a variety of different types, including a strip light, a spotlight and a waterproof light. They are all available from B&Q, priced at £4.98 each.
