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.

SALMAN RUSHDIE'S (right) fatwa-informed testament to the power of fiction, Haroun and the Sea of Stories, the tale of a young boy's journey to a magic sea to retrieve his father's yarn-spinning talent, couldn't come to the stage at a better time. With the ingenious Tim Supple directing and the inspirational disabled actor Nabil Shaban taking a starring role, it should work wonders for all ages.

For something altogether more ephemeral, try housewife-superstar Bobby Baker's acclaimed guide to the art of successful supermarket shopping, How to Shop, revived for two nights as part of the British Festival of Visual Theatre.
