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.

STATUESQUE cowgirl Charlotte Storey, from The Heartbreak Kid, can't say no to Sod. She calls Arthur Smith's comedy 'a wonderful mix of laughter and tragedy'. Kristina Boller from Berlin says the Mark Morris Dance Group 'was witty and beautiful. I've never seen such fantastic dancers.' Her companion Stephanie Schmidt picks The Persians for of 'its psychological treatment of a contemporary problem'. Comedian Malcolm Hardee, however, prefers the Gilded Balloon's Wow Show: 'Lee Cornes follows the three golden rules of comedy. He wobbles about, falls over and then gets his knob out.'
