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.

EVE ENSLER'S The Vagina Monologues was a huge hit on Broadway last year. Glenn Close, Winona Ryder (right), Whoopi Goldberg and Susan Sarandon were bagged for the US gala performance, though it's unconfirmed who will play London's gala show (14 Feb). Drawn from the responses of 200 women to the question "If it could talk, what would it say?", this is, according to The Village Voice, "the most outrageous and important feminist event since the bra burnings".

AMERICAN SKATE-PUNK band The Offspring have the nod of approval from the Californian skateboarding scene, and it seems their appeal extends to colder climes, too: the London date of their UK tour (Brixton Academy, 15 Jan) is already sold out. Fast becoming MTV favourites, it's their high-octane, spiky punk anthems that keep fans moshing.
