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.

Soulful, sultry, smoky, smooth as expensive paint and deeply glossy. You can see why Beth Rowley is highly recommended.

She's classy stuff: delivers elegantly turned variations on various blue themes with excellent coverage, framed and varnished without flaw. "Nobody's Fault But Mine", "Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground", "I Shall Be Released", "Almost Persuaded": it's a tasteful rack of other people's blues – less histrionic than Adele's and more thoughtful than Duffy's. But boy, that gloss finish is hard to get underneath. Stick around for when there's been a little wear and tear and then maybe she'll move you.
