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.

Anyone who has never seen Sylvie Guillem should consider catching her in Swan Lake next Wednesday. She dominates three out of four acts as the sorrowing Swan Queen and as the evil doppelganger who lures Siegfried into the betrayal of Odette. Royal Opera House, London WC2 (0171-304 4000)
Belly dancing in London used to be a spectacle confined to sweaty Turkish nightclubs, but a renewed interest in the genre has given audiences a chance to appreciate the artistry of the form. In Dancing Girls, Wendy Buonaventura dances to an aural collage of voices that recounts travellers' tales of early Western contacts with this exotic dance. Lilian Baylis Theatre, Sadler's Wells, London EC1 (0171-713 6000)
The slightly disappointing Corazon Flamenco stamp their way through the ludicrous dance melodrama Noche de Santiago and present a virtuoso duet Lo Mas Hondo, featuring Manuela Carrasco in her British debut. Sadler's Wells, London EC1 (0171-713 6000)
