A Critical Guide: For children
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.

There are lots coming up: both Birmingham Symphony Hall (021-212 3333, 15 Dec) and the Barbican (071-638 8891, 27 Dec) have 10th-anniversary performances of Howard Blake's music of The Snowman, narrated by Jean Boht and Johnny Morris respectively. Symphony Hall also has a concert at 2.30pm on 19 Dec with Peter and the Wolf and Carnival of the Animals (children's tickets only pounds 2 for this), and
a 'teddy bear concert' on 29 Dec. At the National Theatre (071-928 2252, 17 Dec at 5.30pm and 18 Dec at 12.30pm) members of the Wind in the Willows company leave their burrows to put on a programme of carols and seasonal poems; and on
30 Dec at 3pm in the Cottesloe (071-928 2252) there is a chance to see, hear,
even to try out, the NT's Javanese gamelan - a beautiful collection of bronze gongs and chimes.
