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.

Today: A month of free Saturday evening fireworks displays starts on Brighton Pier. The first display rounds off the Brighton Pride parade. For more ideas on what to do in Brighton, see page 16 (visitbrighton.com).

This week: The doors will be opening at the Hotel Gansevoort's new outpost on Park Avenue in New York on Monday. The sibling of the Gansevoort Meatpacking District will boast a rooftop pool and lounge, Italian restaurant and spa (gansevoortpark.com).

In the diary: The no-frills airline Iceland Express is permanently extending its seasonal service from Gatwick to New York. The flights to Newark airport stop in Reykjavik (icelandexpress.com). And in Dorset, the Serenata Festival claims to be Britain's first classical music festival and will welcome artists such as Katherine Jenkins and Russell Watson to the Jurassic Coast from 26-28 August (serenatafestival.com).
