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.

Neil Tennant claims that he and Chris Lowe called their first album Please because they loved the idea of people asking for it by saying "Have you got the Pet Shop Boys' Please?" Hanif Kureishi's new play, Sleep With Me, has similar conversational possibilities. Before My Beautiful Laundrette, Kureishi (right) wrote plays, often directed by Max Stafford- Clark, who wound up as the basis of a character in The Buddha of Suburbia. For Kureishi's first play for years, the director is Anthony Page. Maybe he'll turn up on one of Kureishi's future pages.
