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 dairy herd has been moved out of the way, Michael Eavis has trimmed his beard and the sodden Somerset soil is bracing itself for 175,000 people in wellies to trample it into a chocolate milkshake mush. Glastonbury week has arrived!!!
The latest:
- Florence and the Machine really puts on a show.
- The Libertines prove they still have it in surprise performance.
- Mud to set in overnight as rain begins to pour down.
- Bets are already being taken for how long Kanye West's on stage rant will be on Saturday night.
