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.

One of the more unusual music events taking place this summer is at this popular museum of ethnicity in south London. As well as being a showcase for "non-mainstream" artists, the fifth festival of World Music and Dance is a chance for the public to try their hand at a number of unusual skills. After sitting back to enjoy a programme of performances of Turkish dance, the Brazilian fighting art of capoeira, sacred songs from Tibetan monks, and Afro-Cuban chanting, you can have a go at some of the more esoteric arts yourself in one of the workshops. There is also a dedicated workshop for children and families, and all of the activities are free.

Horniman Museum and Gardens, 100 London Road, London SE23 (0181-699 1872) today to 4 Jul
