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.

Mo Gilligan has announced a special free show for NHS and key workers in the UK.

The comedian made the announcement after the release of his hit Netflix special, Momentum.

The filmed matinee show takes place at Eventim Apollo in London on 14 November, as part of Gilligan’s “There’s Mo To Life World Tour”.

The event is being billed as a “thank you” for the “phenomenal and continued hard work” by health workers in the battle against coronavirus.

Tickets will be made available on Monday 4 May, with limited availability from 10am, 1pm and 5pm to ensure key workers are able to access tickets in between shifts. Tickets will be available here.

Gilligan recently announced a new Channel 4 show, All Star Happy Hour with Mo Gilligan, a four-part series that launches next week at 10pm.

The show is a mix of sketches, musical skits and games where members of the public are given the chance to compete against celebrities and win different prizes.

The announcement comes after the BBC hosted Big Night In, a show that raised more than £67m for charities supporting those affected by coronavirus.
