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.

Borodin String Quartet The Russian group celebrates 50 years at the Wigmore Hall next week with several special guests. On Sunday it's the viola player Yuri Bashmet and cellist Mikhail Milmen who open in Tchaikovsky's rousing sextet, Souvenir de Florence, before the quartet moves on to Shostakovich, whose Seventh and Eighth Quartets are on the programme. Wednesday brings in the cellist Natalia Gutman for Schubert's Quintet in C, the climax to an evening that starts with Prokoviev's Second Quartet and continues with Beethoven's, Op 95 in F minor. Queue early for returns.
Sunday 22 Jan & Wednesday 25 Jan, Wigmore Hall Tortoise Introspective rock doodlings from Chicago visitors, more inspired by free-form jazz than grunge. Weirdville noisy quirks lend tracks from their album a certain charm.
