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.

When Hanif Kureishi (right) published his hiss-and-tell novel Intimacy, full of thinly veiled personal bitcheries about his own marital break- up, he unleashed a very public storm of indignant protests from his entire family. Was the novelist's main problem too much fact or too much fantasy? Blake Morrison attempts to draw Kureishi out from behind the parapet in tonight's discussion about the dangers of confessional writing. Definitively the last piece of dirty underwear to come out of this particular family laundry basket
Purcell Room, London SE1 (0171-960 4242) tonight, 7.30pm, pounds 6/pounds 3.50 concs
