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.

THE TRICYCLE THEATRE has added a reconstruction of the Stephen Lawrence inquiry to its dramatisations of the Scott Arms to Iraq inquiry and the Hague 1996 War Crimes tribunal. Considering the topical nature of the subject, it's no surprise that The Colour of Justice is transferring to the West End, but recent media scrutiny hasn't numbed the impact of its shocking examination of evidence that points towards corruption and racism in the Metropolitan police force.

IF A PERSON'S fame was solely dependent upon their looks, Rob Newman (right) would fare better than his ex-comic partner, David Baddiel. Yet when they split, only a day after playing to a packed Wembley Stadium, Baddiel went from strength to strength and the broodingly good-looking Newman dropped out of the TV limelight. However, the comedian-turned-novelist proved his mettle with a successful stint at last year's Edinburgh Festival, where according to the critics, he displayed immense intelligence.
