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 PLAY

B-Road Movie

A ludicrously funny evening as house-proud Yvonne and sluttish Tina set off on the B6429 and wind up Bound for Cairo - Joyce Grenfell meets Thelma and Louise at The Purple Rose of Cairo. Another hit from the glorious Lip Service.

Hackney Empire, London E8 (0181-985 2424)

THE READING

Gore Vidal

The wise, waspish, well-versed master of American letters graces London with a reading and signing session of Palimpsest, his memoirs.

Hatchards, London W1 12.30pm (0171-439 9921)
