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 first album from Green Gartside - the Welsh singer-songwriter who is Scritti Politti - since 1988's Provision. Something of an achievement by all accounts, Gartside has updated his melodious soul-influenced pop with injections of contemporary rap and hip hop as exemplified by the current single, "Tinseltown to the Boogiedown".
What They Say About It
"Listening to these 11 immaculately presented songs, you think it possible that the entire decade has been spent polishing them to their present lustre," Andy Gill, The Independent.
"It takes a special kind of talent to name your band after a book by an Italian intellectual, release a song called "Jacques Derrida" and survive two decades. Gartside, clearly, is still groovy after all these years," Sharon O'Connell, The Times.
"Smooth, melodic, lush, rhythmically and stylistically varied... From a man who has spent much of the past decade in the pub, this is a remarkably focused collection," David Cheal, The Daily Telegraph.
Where You Can Get It
Anomie & Bonhomie is on release on Virgin Records.
