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.

EASILY THE most bizarre offering at Edinburgh this year was Ursula Martinez presents a Family Outing - a DIY therapy-session-cum-chat show in which the stars are the nonchalant performance artist's elderly parents. As these two brave it out on the sofa, bantering away in a manner that hedges between the improvisatory and the scripted, Martinez's postmodern conceit becomes a powerful critique of family values.

There are just a few days left to catch the Right Size's exuberant take on Mr Puntila and His Man Matti (right). Brecht's anti-capitalist comedy about an unpredictable drunken landowner and his disgruntled chauffeur looks even more pertinent in the light of current currency upheavals.
