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.

First Call

DURING THE COURSE of his long career, John Cale (right), the co-founder of the vastly influential Velvet Underground, has worked with a plethora of artists, including Iggy Pop's Stooges, Patti Smith, Brian Eno and The Happy Mondays. In the final concert of his extensive UK solo tour - his first in 15 years - Cale plays the Royal Festival Hall. Cale is treating audiences to an overview of his career, as well as airing some new, unreleased tracks.

Royal Festival Hall, South Bank, London SE1 (0171-960 4242) to 21 Jan

Last Call

IN A RECENT interview, Kiki Dee declared: "My name is the most famous thing about me." In one sense she is right: after her debut album, I'm Kiki Dee, she became the first white British act to be signed to Motown; however, her musical career drooped after the success of the Elton John duet, "Don't Go Breaking My Heart". Since then, she has performed in a number of West End musicals, earning a nomination for an Olivier Award for Blood Brothers. Where Rivers Meet is her first studio album in 12 years. Her national tour ends this month.

Riverside Studios, Hammersmith, London W6 (0181-237 1111) 15-17 Nov
