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.

First Call

BLACK EYED PEAS are a LA-based M.C trio whose funky-beats have gained commercial acclaim on the back of Warren Beatty's Bulworth soundtrack. They follow in the tradition of groups like Blackstar, DMX and Company Flow, paying homage to the old school while adding musical elements of their own. Black Eyed Peas' traditional hip hop is flavoured with Latin- soul vibes and R&B. Trained in freestyle dancing and stage-diving, they put on an exiting live show.

Last Call

IN SAMUEL BECKETT'S enigmatic exploration of time, Krapp's Last Tape, Edward Petherbridge (right) plays an old man obsessed with the past. Employing few props, this is a disturbing work that has little dialogue apart from that coming from a tape Krapp recorded 30 years ago, speaking about his lost love. Petherbridge has been touring with the play for the past year and a half, and adds to London dates Beckett's wordless, 35- second play Breath, plus a question-and- answer session.
