Hang on, there's a message
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.Hair-raising acrobatics such as these might look exhilarating, but in this case, they also carry a serious moral message. Members of the aerial dance troupe Project Bandaloop pictured here claim to be exploring "the relationship between movement and gravity" to raise awareness of humans' interaction with their environment.
Their backdrop at their latest performance yesterday was the historic Golkonda Fort in Hyderabad, India, built in the 13th century and once the centre of a flourishing diamond trade. The dancers and riggers of the troupe, based in San Francisco, have now performed to half-a-million people.
Other performance sites have included Yosemite Falls in California. Yesterday's event raised money for the Society to Save Rocks, which aims to preserve granite formations in the Deccan Plateau, stretching across southern India.
