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.

Goldie
The king of jungle's latest roadshow. Thanks to the electronics, the stage will be notably free of "real" musicians, and the chattering bass and drum patterns will probably shake your fillings loose, but it's the clear winner of the "hippest thing of the week" award.
Weds, Brighton Paradox (01273 709709)
THE PLAY
The Ends of the Earth
Samantha Bond, who gave a controlled yet violently emotional performance in Le Cid, returns in the latest play by David Lan, who teams up again with director Andrei Serban and designer Richard Hudson.
In preview, opens Thurs, Cottesloe, National Theatre, London SE1 (0171- 928 2252)
THE CONCERT
Gundula Janowitz
A programme of Schubert, Schumann and Richard Strauss by the now rarely seen German soprano with the gorgeously creamy voice. Her recording of the "Four Last Songs" could cause you to die of pleasure.
Thurs, St John's Smith Square, London SW1 (0171-222 1061)
