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.

HAILING FROM New York, the effortlessly laid-back Fun Lovin' Criminals (right) are vying for the title of the coolest men in rock. With its cavalier approach to life, their lounge-style rap is exemplified by the funky Reservoir Dogs derivative, "Scooby Snacks". Last year's 100% Colombian was a top-selling album and that alone should be reason enough to catch Huey, Fast and Steve live.

REBECCA GILMAN has already established herself as one of USA's most promising playwrights and now has the opportunity to make her mark over here at London's Royal Court Theatre. The Glory of Living follows Lisa and Clint as they search for kicks in the American Deep South. Unfortunately for them, their twisted anti-social behaviour gains unwanted attention from the forces of righteousness. Directed by Kathryn Hunter, designed by Liz Cooke and lit by Paule Constable.
