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.

A 40th-anniversary edition of the double album which focused minds everywhere on the existential meaning of “garage”, a 27-track hymn to the wild youth impelled to whang headstocks among the toolboxes and foot pumps of 1960s American suburbia.

The Electric Prunes, The Castaways, The Leaves .… Music has seldom since sounded so excitable or infused with such weird genius. Chiefly, though, they had fuzz boxes and they knew how to use ’em.
