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.

THEY'RE HOT, they're dynamic, they're exuberant. They're Phoenix Dance Company, a Leeds group known for their energy, athleticism and ability to dance anyone off the stage. They are also known for their repertoire of powerful contemporary dance, three pieces of which will have their first London outing this week. Heart of Chaos (above) highlights the brutality and fatalism of the world of boxing; the other pieces, by Donald Byrd and Pamela Johnson, are Fatal Strategy and Face Our Own Face. The company recently won a Sainsbury's Arts Education Award and has been working with six schools to create an evening of dance about inner-city life, to be staged in Yorkshire at the end of this month. (Sadler's Wells, 071- 278 8916, Tues to Sat.)
