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.

Frieze Art Fair opened its doors yesterday to host artists, collectors and gallerists from across the world hoping to do business despite jitters in the wider economic climate.

Some 170 galleries are showing work, attracting celebrities including U2's Adam Clayton, Jay Jopling, Gwen Stefani, artist Grayson Perry and collector Charles Saatchi to yesterday's private show. Frieze co-director Matthew Slotover said more people than ever were attending but was unsure if increased sales would follow. He added: "I guess we're going to see. We're the first bellwether of the season."

Among the works on display was Ken Okiishi's "Gino/Thinking About Moving Uptown". The fair opens to the public today.
