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.

The first London-wide programme dedicated to live art and experimental performance returns in April.

The SPILL Festival of Performance will make full use of the Barbican with a dynamic programme of events. Continuing the momentum of 2009’s extensive line-up, this biennial festival of experimental theatre and live art is renowned and recognised as one of the most highly anticipated artist-led events on the international performance calendar.

Initiated in 2007 by UK based artist/performer Robert Pacitti, SPILL features world premieres and SPILL commissions, showcasing a combination of established and emerging artists during the festival’s week-long run. This year’s festival has been curated by Pacitti around notions of ‘infection.’
