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.

CP TAYLOR wrote more than 60 stage plays in 20 years, but found his niche as a political writer after the Second World War. In works like Lies About Vietnam and Truth About Sarajevo, he demonstrated his ability to make complicated subjects crystal clear. He allowed political ideas to filter through ordinary situations and people, something exemplified in his most highly praised and penultimate play, Good, which traces the self-deception and moral inertia that enables a German professor to work in Auschwitz. Directed by Michael Grandage.

THE CREAM club night on New Year's Eve should live up to its name, having secured a powerful line-up. Headlining are two of the most rated acts to come to the fore this year -- Fatboy Slim and Faithless (right). For the 7,000 revellers expected to attend, there should be at least one DJ to please, with the legendary Paul Oakenfold, Roger Sanchez and Todd Terry attending. This event will be broadcast live on Kiss FM.
