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: Stay up late in Brighton. As the clocks go back, the coastal city will be hosting a White Night festival until the small hours, with light shows, a movie trail and a midnight fashion show ( whitenightnuitblanche.com ).
This week: Stockholm gets yet more style in the form of the Hotel Skeppsholmen, which opens on the Swedish capital's museum island on Monday ( hotelskeppsholmen.com ). Meanwhile, Starwood's hotel chain continues to multiply when it opens Aloft in Abu Dhabi tomorrow and W Boston on Thursday ( starwood.com ). And, in London, the Freeze Festival will transform Battersea Power Station into a winter wonderland from Friday to Sunday with ski jumps and slopes, professional skiers and boarders, and a line-up of live music from Orbital, Friendly Fires and more ( londonfreeze.com ).
In the diary: Book a cabin on the Maharajas' Express, a new luxury train that will traverse India on week-long journeys from early next year ( rirtl.com ).
