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.

Published during one of the most significant times of our lives, Portrait of Humanity Vol 2 is a 300-page volume of 200 intimate portraits and stories.

These arresting faces and touching anecdotes remind us of our common struggles, our deep bonds and, perhaps most importantly in light of the Covid-19 crisis, the restorative power of community.

The book supports a global touring exhibition and images will be exhibited on Clear Channel digital screens internationally.

Portrait of Humanity is the annual award organised by 1854 Media, and the accompanying book is published by Hoxton Mini Press
