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 Independent readers can get their hands on a pair of tickets to see huge artists including Sir Tom Jones, Nile Rodgers, Sting, Paloma Faith, Bryan Adams, Van Morrison and more... and all they have to do is sign up to our music newsletter.

This year, we’re the exclusive news partner of Forest Live festival, a music series held in some of the country’s most beautiful natural settings.

The event is run by Forestry England, and proceeds from ticket sales are going towards growing and protecting the nation’s forests for generations to come.

Forestry England plans over seven million trees in Egland each year, along with helping to protect trees and wildlife habitats from climate threats.

The 2024 edition of the festival has an impressive lineup, from crooner Tom Jones to rock stars like Bryan Adams, Sting, Johnny Marr and Van Morrison, plus plenty of pop from Sophie Ellis-Bextor, The Corrs, Paloma Faith and Becky Hill.

Gigs this year will take place in six different locations: Delamere Forest, Dalby Forest, Sherwood Pines, High Lodge Thetford Forest, Westonbirt Arboretum and Cannock Chase Forest.
