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.TIMING does not come much worse than the Rambert Dance Company's decision to dispense with its Mercury Ensemble and its music director, Roger Heaton - reported this week as a cost-cutting measure. Choreographers and composers in general have been working more closely together than of old: there are sought-after courses and grants to encourage the links. Of course times are hard, but what sort of economy is it to abandon one of the main channels of creativity? The company should think again, and get talking fast to its supporters in the contemporary music world.
