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.An investor in the hit musical Ain't Misbehaving has complained to the show's producers that money supplied by her and other "angels" or investors in the show, has been used for an advertising campaign.
Denise Chambers, a social worker, who put pounds 2,500 into the show has sent a solicitor's letter to executive producer Adrian Leggett pointing out that the show has been a sell-out and in profit every week, but dividends have not yet been paid to investors.
Mr Leggett said: "My judgement and that of my co-producers is that it would be in the interests of the show to spend somewhat more on the weekly advertising than we allowed for in the original weekly budgets."
He added that to make any distribution of dividends at this stage would be "premature".
