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.

"Unique" must be one of the most over-used words in the journalist's vocabulary, but it really does apply in the case of Italian performer Ennio Marchetto. I guarantee you've never seen anyone quite like him.
Marchetto lip-syncs to a medley of songs, while peeling off grotesque paper likenesses of the singers. A sort of post-modern quick-change artist, he metamorphoses before your very eyes into more than a hundred different characters.
And it's an act that really does run the gamut of cultures, as he impersonates everyone from the Venus de Milo and the Pope to Fidel Castro, Liza Minnelli, Keith Flint from The Prodigy and even the Teletubbies. In short, this is quite simply the most vivid karaoke show you're ever likely to witness.
This week Marchetto appears in London for the first time since 1993, after a sell-out run at this year's Edinburgh Festival.
Lyric, Hammersmith, London W6 (0181-741 2311)
