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.

The Roller Trio travel over the Pennines from Leeds to Liverpool to launch the city's first International Jazz Festival, followed by a free, late-night set from trumpeter Martin Smith's new band the Weave.

Friday has the raucous eclecticsm of Led Bib, plus a late, free set featuring GORP's "council estate prog".

Over the weekend, there's Robert Mitchell, the pianist Kit Downes and Denys Baptiste's Triumverate trio, who meld familiar songs into new soundscapes. Courtney Pine closes the festival with a band drawn from Africa, Europe and the Caribbean.
