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.

The Mavericks, the unique American band who fuse Latin sounds with their Country and rock roots, have added two new dates to their autumn tour, having sold out those venues in double-quick time. Once again, they'll have the fantastic Havana Horns on stage with them to add extra Latin zest to numbers such as the current hit, "Dance the Night Away". With their Trampoline album having spent the last three months in the Top 20, these new shows should also sell out well in advance. Other dates at Birmingham, Brighton, Cambridge, Cardiff and Sheffield have few tickets remaining.

Anish Kapoor's first public gallery exhibition in this country has provoked an immediate sensation. "We can't tear our eyes away," said Tom Lubbock of The Independent. While critics were dragged away to pen glowing reviews, a more impressive barometer of Kapoor's easy access to complex forms has been the sight of people romping, childlike, over the sculptures. Catch him while you can. (right)
