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.

TAKE A TRIP back in time and see a performance at the Globe Theatre. It was Sam Wanamaker's idea to restore the theatre and it has been very successful - the previous season's shows sold out. Julius Caesar is first of four productions boasting the excellent Mark Rylance (right) at the directorial helm. Period costumes, all-male casts and live music played on early instruments all lend these productions a powerful sense of the past.
The Globe, New Globe Walk, Bankside, London SE1 (0171-401 9919) to 21 Sept

MODERN FUNK STARS Bentley Rhythm Ace, who were a hit at some of last summer's music festivals, will seduce more audiences with their eclectic musical mix in a one-off gig. Drum'n'bass, funk and dance beats are thrown in by the duo, who have a penchant for shades and afro wigs. It will be interesting to see just how the boys who had an irrepressible hit with "The Bentley's Gonna Sort You Out", cope with the recent change at their record label, Skint, which was bought by Sony last year.
