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.

Young director Rupert Goold caused something of a stir with his production of his own adaptation of Graham Greene's The End of the Affair. He's back amid the trials and tribulations of love in a new production of the world's most famous love story, which did for balconies what Doris Day did for virginity. Leslie Howard, Laurence Harvey, Leonard Whiting and Leonardo DiCaprio have all given their on-screen Romeos (is there an Equity ruling about cinematic Romeos having to be played by someone with the initial "L"?). But who needs cinema when there's the thrill of live performance in the shape of Nicholas Irons playing lover to Kate Fleetwood's fair Juliet? Unless someone steps in quickly, this will be Greenwich Theatre's farewell production, thanks to the withdrawal of Arts Council funding. But hey, the nearby Millennium Dome is certain to take care of the area's cultural requirements. Isn't it?
