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.

The Freewheelin'Bob Dylan Bob Dylan
This is such distinctive music: through his expressive voice and the sound of words, you can tell that this is crazy poetry. Dylan has lived his life through art, trying everything, breaking off into new directions after he has been successful in another; few musicians can claim to have created five albums of genius. You never knew what he was going to do next and that's not an attitude that exists in the music industry any more.
Real Life Magazine
Magazine was fronted by ex-Buzzcocks' Howard de Vito; the album had a punk attitude but was bleaker and more jagged. It's important to have longevity and Magazine are still relevant nearly 20 years after they made this record.
I always find that new sounds come from a new style of dancing; this music turns simple beats into a big dance sound you can wind to in a different way.'
Idlewild's new single, 'Actually it's Darkness', is released 27 March
