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 autumnal arrival of the Nour Festival, trailing contemporary culture from the Middle East and North Africa in Kensington and Chelsea, opens its music programme with a special performance from the former singer and dancer with Transglobal Underground.

Natacha Atlas has built an illustrious solo career melding eastern and western music – most recently for Angelin Preljocaj's latest ballet, Les Nuits.

She leads a seven-piece band in the Elgar Room through a set which is almost certain to contain some of the Rahbani Brothers' great songs from Lebanon, and from her album perfumed by early 20th-century Arabic song, Ana Hina.
