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.

For that special Valentine experience, get down to "The Orgasm that Saved the World" at the Plunge Club this Tuesday. The Plunge, or to give it its glorious full title, "Plunge into Civilisation - a Performance Playground", has been running for nearly a year as a South London "live art" venue. Every month the organisers pick a theme - last month's was "Dream, Dream, Dream" - then they decorate the place accordingly and invite performers in any medium to contribute. You get strange robed women shouting through loud-hailers, live poets, a healthy portion of post-modern dance, and curious installations - utterly weird, sometimes appalling, never boring. This month, as well as orgasms aplenty (with Bo Chapman and Rene Eyre, below), we're promised live audience interaction with "The Typewriter" (say no more), and the usual mixing of ambient trance sounds from DJs Bruce McRay and Gez from Doi-ing. This is the last in the current season of Plunge events, but there's a special one-off at the Oval House on 8 April, so performers interested in contributing to the Plunge legend should call 071-274 6914. The club's ambience marks it out from almost anything else around: leave your critical faculties at home and splash about in it. To make it even more attractive, each club night kicks off with an orgy of free Oranjeboom beer from 8pm to 9pm.
Plunge Club at the Chunnel Club, 101 Tinworth St, SE11, 8pm-1am 14 Feb, £5/£4 concs
