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.

May is set to be another big month over on Disney Plus.

The streaming service is welcoming a range of films and TV series to its platform this month, from blockbusters to classic favourites.

There’s the arrival of Cruella, the 101 Dalmations prequel starring Emma Stone as the titular puppy snatcher, for those who have Premier Access on 28 May.

Fans will also be excited to hear that the second season of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series is also on its way, with new episodes dropping weekly from Friday 14 May.

Star Wars Day on 4 May also marks the arrival of animated series Star Wars: The Bad Batch, as well as other behind-the-scenes clips from the making of the original films and spin-off The Mandalorian.

Here’s everything coming to Disney+ in the UK in May. You can sign up here.
