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.

They've been Music and Brothers, though deep-fried country- blues under any other name would sound as dark and rich and sensual. Essentially, the band (whose profane and profound new album Arise, Therefore is out now) amounts to Will Oldham, his guitar and some pals. The pals won't be there on Sunday. But you should.
Sun 8.30pm, Dingwalls, London NW1 (0171-267 1999)
Super Furry Animals
It's all happening in Wales. The Creation-signed rock-puppies play a brace of shows prior to their metamorphosis into world-dominating stadium hounds, probably. Sun 7.30pm, Gloucester Guildhall (01452 505089); Fri 3 May, Blackwood Miner's Institute (01495 227206)
Maceo Parker & Roots Revisited Band
Erstwhile JB and "character" saxophonist to whom all funksters are indebted. Should cook, despite the absence of old chinas Fred Wesley and Pee Wee Ellis. Wear both your good feet.
Sat 8pm, London Forum NW5 (0171-284 2200); Sun 8pm, Blackheath Concert Halls, London SE3 (0181-463 0100)
