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.

"With no shortage of charm, the band should ease their way into many an audience's affections... This band's gradual edging over the precipice of mainstream acceptance has been richly deserved; now, everyone should hear this dragon roar." bbc.co.uk/music

"Ultimately the effort is mighty, and Little Dragon is still clearly at the top of the electro R&B pile. But 'Ritual Union' is a mixed bag, its feet uncomfortably divided between the dance floor and the couch." undertheradarmag.com

"An imaginative album of contrasts loaded with subtleties and potentially alienating nuances that necessitate a long-term commitment... Little Dragon may be on the verge of a more mainstream stardom, but with 'Ritual Union', the band forges its own path and does not take the easy way out." onethirtybpm. com
