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.

Ex-music director of the LSO, Michael Tilson Thomas, returns for a series that examines operatic, balletic and incidental music by Stravinsky. The opening concert contrasts, with the composer's lavish Firebird alongside The Soldier's Tale.
Barbican Hall, London E2 (0171-638 8891), 7.30pm
Venice Baroque Orchestra Tue
Early music from the Venetian ensemble, playing instrumental works by Vivaldi, Marcello and others. But the real interest is the supposedly "non-falsetto" voice of soprano Angelo Manzotti.
Hackney Empire, London E8 (0181-985 2424) 7.30pm
Imogen Cooper/Anne Queffelec Sun
Two fine pianists join forces to play some rarely aired Mozart - not only the Sonata for Two Pianos K448, but also the four-hand Sonata K497. Sophie Daneman also sings Mozart songs.
Queen Elizabeth Hall, London SE1 (0171-960 4242) 7.45pm
Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra Thur
Two works from the end of the last century - Strauss's Nietzsche- inspired tone poem, Also Sprach Zarathustra, and Mahler's 4th Symphony.
Colston Hall, Bristol (0117-922 3683) 7.30pm
London Winds Sun
An attractive line-up from this premiere outfit as part of the Bath Mozart fest. Mozart aptly features via the Kegelstatt Trio with Michael Collins on clarinet, and the buoyant Serenade for Winds K388. But there's a welcome outing for Beethoven's early piano and wind quintet.
