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.The Scarborough theatre run by Sir Alan Ayckbourn is being threatened with a cut again from local politicians just weeks after the "luvvies or lavvies" row in which it was competing for cash with public lavatories.
Sir Alan won the battle to stop Scarborough council cutting its funding by pounds 50,000 of the Stephen Joseph Theatre-In-The-Round. But now an even bigger cut is threatened by North Yorkshire County Council. It is to debate terminating its pounds 70,500 grant, about one-sixth of the theatre's regular public funding.
