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.Ranging off-piste is the way to enjoy this South-east version of Texas's South by Southwest, where a wristband gets you in to hundreds of gigs city-wide.
If the queue for Everything Everything daunts, fret not: adventurous Great Escapists might have stumbled on AlunaGeorge or Nick Cave watching Palma Violets last year, so head for the small venues, where rising hipster heroes Merchandise, Jagwar Ma, the Family Rain, Childhood, Charlie Boyer & the Voyeurs, Phosphorescent, Unknown Mortal Orchestra and Parquet Courts await, among others. And since those others number 300-plus, you won't be stuck for choice.
