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.Perhaps sensing that a charity compilation record can often be a little cheesy, Planned Parenthood has poked fun at its new 7-inch with a performance by John Legend and St. Vincent that gets pulled apart by Zach Galifianakis.
Zach just happens to be in the building while they're practicing in the skit, giving them his unsolicited notes and criticising all aspects of their duet.
"You don't like my falsetto?" John asks, to which Zach barks: "I like truesetto!"
Tearing into their cover of Minnie Riperton's 'Loving You' he insists: "Being sexy matters! Looking good, getting clicks man!" before contributing some accordion and, when it's criticised, trying and failing to smash a chair.
7 Inches for Planned Parenthood will also feature Churches, Bon Iver, Feist, Elliot Smith, Bjork, Matt Berninger, Foo Fighters, Arca and more.
The story behind it is as follows:
"Lawmakers with extreme views are working hard to shut down Planned Parenthood. If they succeed, millions of Americans will lose access to basic health services, including STD testing and treatment, birth control, and life-saving cancer screenings.
"7-inches for Planned Parenthood is a response to this threat. This curated series of 7-inch vinyl records is being made by a group of people who believe that access to health care is a public good that should be fiercely protected. Do we know there’s a joke in the name? We do. We hope the title evokes the rich history of 7-inch vinyl records as a medium for protest music and resistance."
