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.

WHEN Pete Townsend (right) hurled himself around the stage with The Who, was it merely the delinquent fury of disaffected youth, or was the young popster making a grander artistic statement? Tonight, Townsend intends to reveal that it was his stint at art school which actually proved his biggest inspiration, especially the work of his favourite teacher, the charismatic Austrian artist Gustav Metzger. Pupil and mentor get together again to discuss each other's work at the ICA - the very place Metzger got busted by the police for the Destruction in Art Symposium back in 1966.

ICA, The Mall, London SW1 (0171 930 3647) 7.30pm
