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.

COMPILING SMUG end-of-the- century overviews before the century has ended looks like tempting fate. Songs of the Century with Paul Gambaccini (12noon R2), presented over the Easter weekend, is courting not just fate but bad taste. Radio 2 listeners, music industry insiders and sales figures have determined this chart-of-charts.

In Good Friday Liturgy - The Seven Last Words (3pm R4), Cardinal Basil Hume (right) leads a meditation on Christ's last words on the cross.

Performance on 3 (6pm R3) provides a chance to hear the ENO production of Wagner's final great work Parsifal. Kim Begley stars as the fool upon whom the hopes of the Knights of the Holy Grail rest.
