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.

I WAS not at Glyndebourne for the first night of Don Giovanni, which apparently was received with 'boos' from part of the audience ('Disturbing the picnic', 17 July). However, I was at the final dress rehearsal the previous Thursday. In contrast, the audience then was fully appreciative with much clapping and shouts of 'bravo'.

Mozart is no more sacred than the Glyndebourne picnic hamper of champagne and luxury foods; our picnic comprised Arbroath smokies, carrot cake and plonk] Each 'art' experience should be viewed afresh without the trappings of convention. How boring life would be without the unexpected.
