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.

Brisbane
You wouldn't associate the sunshine city of Brisbane with snowball fights and cold weather fun, but for almost two weeks you'd be wrong. Tobogganing, ice skating and a snow-play-area are all part of the annual Fire and Ice Festival. Fireworks, light displays and themed spicy restaurant menus provide the fire.

The Kieler Woche, Kiel

This is northern Europe's largest summer festival, with musicians such as Mungo Jerry and Alannah Myles lined up, and the opera house is to stage the world premiere of Schimmelreiter (The Rider of the White Horse).
