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.

Broadway fans will need to prove they’ve been vaccinated for Covid-19 and wear masks when theatres reopen.

According to the Associated Press, audience members will have to wear face coverings and show proof they are fully vaccinated by a FDA or WHO authorised vaccine when they enter theatres.

There will be exceptions to the vaccine rule for children under 12, who are not yet eligible for any of the approved shots, and for people with a medical condition or religious belief that prevents vaccination.

Those individuals will need to show proof of a negative Covid-19 test. Masks are required for the audience except whilst eating or drinking in designated locations.
