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."Off the Page" - the literary events umbrella for the City of London Festival - includes the irrepressible writer Kathy Lette. Best known for her fourth novel, Mad Cows, an irreverent look at the earth- mother approach to child-rearing, she will be reading this Friday from Altar Ego, her fifth, a sexual comedy about a bride who gives in to pre- marital nerves and does a runner. See her before Hollywood lures her from our shores. The film rights for Altar Ego have recently been sold to Scott Rundin (director of The First Wives Club), while the movie Mad Cows, starring Anna Friel and Joanna Lumley, is already in the can and will be released this autumn.
