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.

Eating out
We're cuckoo about The Oak Room's enamel bird-print picnicware. Available in red or green, it will add a touch of brightness to the soggiest camping trip. At £26.95 a set, it is sure to fly off the shelves (so to speak). Oakroomshop.co.uk

Going for gold
We're pumped about Create 2012 Souvenirs, a winning range of keepsakes by British designers, priced between £10 and £50. In first place are the delightful exercise books (geddit?) by the Scottish interiors doyenne, Donna Wilson. Createlondon.org
