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.

Your support makes all the difference.

To celebrate the composer Jonathan Harvey's 60th birthday, the Brighton Festival is staging an ambitious production of his 1981 church opera, 'Passion and Resurrection' (Friday; 01273 706 771). Harvey composed his first works in the 1960s and has since used digital and pre-recorded sounds alongside traditional instruments. He has taught at the University of Sussex for the past 18 years
