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.

New York Ballet Stars Thur to 7 Aug

Royal Festival Hall, London SE1

The group of dancers from New York City Ballet and American Ballet Theatre who played at the Queen Elizabeth Hall last summer enjoyed such success that a similar programme comes to the South Bank this week. Ballets by America's greatest choreographer, George Balanchine, again provide the backbone, with two bright new stars making London debuts: Paloma Herrera in the Tchaikovsky Allegro Brillante and Maria Kowroski in the Stravinsky Capriccio for Piano and Orchestra (Rubies), in which she joins the zippy Wendy Whelan and glamorous Peter Boal. Also on the bill is a world premiere by Karole Armitage to music by Thomas Ades, and duets by Balanchine and Lar Lubovitch. Three nights only, so don't delay.

Royal Festival Hall, London SE1 (0171-960 4242) Thur to 7 Aug, 7.30pm
