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.The Oris London Jazz Festival, which starts on 7 November, promises a citywide celebration of one of the century's most popular music forms. Highlights of the 10-day event, which features artists from around the globe, include jazz visionaries from the 1960s, McCoy Tyner and Butch Morris, as well as guitarists Paco de Lucia (right) and Ali Farka Toure. There's also a pronounced Mediterranean feel to the proceedings, both through the uplifting music of Radio Tarifa and Grand Union's collaboration with Sabahat Akkiraz.

Two first prize-winners will receive a pair of tickets (plus CDs) for leading flamenco guitarist Paco de Lucia at the Barbican on 9 Nov, as well as dinner for two at the Barbican Centre restaurant Searcy's with Gallo wine. Five runners-up will receive a pair of tickets for the Paco de Lucia concert together with a gift box of E&J Gallo Turning Leaf wine. To enter answer the following question: In which country does Ernest & Julio Gallo produce their wine?
