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.

THE ARCHITECTS Alsop & Stormer have won an international competition to design a pounds 15m National Centre for Literature in Swansea, marking the city's selection as UK City of Literature and Writing.

The building, designed as a three-storey glass box sitting on angled concrete legs, will include a writer's centre, a museum of the written word, a bookshop, and catering facilities.

The architects, best known for the Swiss-roll-shaped visitors' centre at Cardiff Bay, beat five other firms invited to compete, including the American Michael Graves and Stirling Wilford & Associates, designers of the Clore Gallery at the Tate in London.
