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.

heard... the Rick Margitza Quartet. American contemporary jazz tenor saxophonist does not get the attention he deserves. He began studying music at the age of four and was hooked on jazz the moment he heard a Charlie Parker record. Since then he's worked with such greats as Miles Davis. Pizza Express Jazz Club, 10 Dean Street, London W1, 0171-439 8722. Tonight and tomorrow, 9pm. Tickets: pounds 10.

read... Men in Black by John Harvey (Reaktion, pounds 12.95). What is it about the colour black that is so alluring. It's a paradoxical colour, embracing mourning, evil and yet is a fashion statement. It has often had the allure of "being bad". This book tackles the historical meanings and uses behind what has become a staple wardrobe colour for many.

seen... a double billing of Michelangelo Antonioni's films. Playing today at the Everyman Cinema is L'Avventura (1.35pm), a story about a group of wealthy Italians on a yacht and their search for a member of their party who suddenly vanishes. And The Red Desert (3.45pm), which is about the struggle to adapt to the modern technocratic world. Holly Bush Vale, Hampstead, London. Box-office: 0171-435 1525. Tickets approximately pounds 4.50.
