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.

CLIVE HART from Portsmouth is fed up with performing on the Mound. The juggler wishes he had less competition. His pick of the Fringe is comic poet John Hegley: 'Very original and extremely funny'. Andy Head from Woking enjoyed The Reduced Shakespeare Company. 'They reminded me of a guy I know from Connecticut. Do all Americans talk that fast?' Mhairi Scott from Edinburgh recommends Circe at Bedlam. 'Half way through watching it I thought, 'Now this is theatre.' The masks are genuinely frightening.' Nick Revell, on at the Assembly Rooms, raves about The Feast Before the Plague: 'I shall see it again. It was passionate and visually beguiling.'
