Upbeat: Dust to dust
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.

Rites, a series of birth-to-death pieces, has teamed up the composer William Sweeney and jazz musician Chick Lyall with visual artists Johnnie McGuinness and Stuart Mackenzie for the first and last phases. What goes on between is represented by Sir Peter Maxwell Davies's boozy party piece, An Orkney Wedding with Sunrise. Tickets are pounds 5, but at least you won't have to run the gauntlet of retailers.
