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.

Fans of fine ensemble acting have had many a feast at the Almeida this year what with Ivanov and Heartbreak House and now Tongue of A Bird. Director Peter Gill (himself a playwright which makes him a particularly astute choice for a piece of new writing) has drawn warm, richly sympathetic performances from his five-strong cast in Ellen McLaughlin's beautiful new play about flight. The depth of the acting alone should entice you, but there's more. The production has a comforting confidence and assurance hanging over it, most evident in its use of humour, which balances an extraordinarily poignant, moving play which a lesser playwright could have turned maudlin and inert.
