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.

If you heard BBC's debut and shrugged, you were right to do so.

The fuss around this orthodox indie rock band was in direct proportion to their mediocrity. And yet they've escaped that ghetto with this acoustic effort.

Jack Steadman has been listening to old folk records (Nick Drake, Joni Mitchell, John Martyn) and it's paid off on these nimble-fingered, emotionally sung songs. Furthermore, his voice is less annoying than before; indeed on Joanna Newsom adaptation "Swansea", his warble works wonders.
