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.

, an elderly Jewish woman, is "sitting shiva" and looking back over her life. A wonderfully adroit Olympia Dukakis has a lovely face that can give the impression of holding in check the tears of all the ages and can lift into delightful curves of wry, shrugging appreciation of life's black little jokes. Nancy Meckler directs with quiet, self-effacing skill and I applaud Martin Sherman's play which directs some well aimed blows at British policy with regard to Jews after the war.
