Upbeat: On the town
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.NOW, the world's smallest new music tour: Monday and Tuesday see the Birmingham Contemporary Music Group taking a piece by Mark Anthony Turnage all the way around, well, Birmingham. They give their free daytime performances of Kai, written for the group three years ago and warmly welcomed then in these pages, at four community and shopping centres. There's also an evening foray on Monday to Warwick University Arts Centre for a foyer performance. Any enraptured passers-by will have to wait a little while to buy the CD, but there is one on the way: BCMG is to record Kai for EMI, with Simon Rattle conducting.
