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.

ACCLAIMED CABARET act Ennio Marchetto eschews elaborate props in favour of some coloured paper, a pair of scissors and his sharp-edged wit. Cultural icons and modern-day celebrities alike are lampooned by his hilarious paper parodies and on-stage transformations, and Marchetto's wonderfully imaginative show, with its innovative display of origami, earned him an Olivier Award nomination for his last West End run.

WITH LAST YEAR'S album, The Globe Sessions, heading towards platinum status here, Sheryl Crow (right) should have a sufficient fan base to fill Wembley Arena. Her career began as a session musician and backing vocalist for artists such as Michael Jackson, Sinead O'Connor and Stevie Wonder, but now she is firmly established as a major recording star in her own right. Her work falls between folk and pop rock, but her raspy, languid voice belts out confident upbeat hits. This is her first UK show in a year, so expect tickets to sell fast.
