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.

Jeff Green It sometimes seems as though the white, male thirtysomething stand-up is as endangered a species as the white rhino. In that sense, Jeff Green is an appealing throwback, telling cheeky stories about girl trouble. Her Majesty's Theatre, London SW1 (0171-494 5051) Sun
Hackney Empire's 10th Birthday Party My, haven't you grown. It only seems like yesterday when you were just a twinkle in some canny promoter's eye. The stars are coming out in force for this birthday bash: the wonderfully down and dirty Jenny Eclair (above), Felix Dexter, Sir Bernard Chumley, and Robbie Gee and Eddie Nestor. Hackney Empire, London E8 (0181-985 2424) tomorrow
Rich Hall This American comic has been a writer on the Letterman show, and his stand-up act cuts with the same sharpness as the chat-show host. Exeter and Devon Arts Centre (01392 421111) tonight
