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.

This week, cultural enlightenment comes from the east in the shape of an expanded Norfolk and Norwich festival. An interesting collaboration exclusive to the event takes place between author Dava Sobel (right) and cellist Philip Sheppard in a joint appearance (Assembly House, 8pm, Tuesday 5 Oct). Sobel will read from her new book Gallileo's Daughter, while Sheppard will perform his new work Harrison's Chronometer, inspired by her acclaimed novel Longitude. Meanwhile, there's a season of Shakespeare on film at Norwich Cinema City, as well as new works from Terry Riley and the Random Dance Company.

Venues around the area (01603 764764) 1 to 17 October
