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.

Lea De Laria (Drill Hall, WC1, 071-637 8270, tonight to 8 Jan). The brash bull-dyke from hell returns with Silent Night, Homo Night, an invigorating mixture of in-your-face stand- up and smoky blues singing. If you're a man, be prepared to stand up and chant, ''I am a lesbian'. It's that kind of show.

The Hackney Empire Birthday Party (081- 985 2424, Thurs). Queen of the drag queens Lily Savage hosts an evening celebrating the 92nd anniversary of East London's most entertaining - and elegant - venue. The bill features Arthur Smith, Barry Cryer, Arnold Brown and Hatty Hayridge.
