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.

Projectors and video monitors are pumping out artworks in sites all over the north-west as part of Britain's fifth festival of electronic arts, Video Positive. The festival was launched at Liverpool superclub Cream, and featured, among other delights, Hayley Newman performing "Shot in the Dark". With her arms raised and her body twisting in a kind of staccato posturing, she vogued her way through a metallic score ina dress drenched with light from banks of strobes on either side of the stage.
