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.

Talking Loud Records executive and Radio One DJ:
"There's a whole generation who've been brought up on clubs. Now they're bored with it - they want something 3-D"
MIXMASTER MORRIS
Ambient DJ and Irresistible Force recording artist
"If there isn't a change I don't see any thing more than Radio One DJs playing terrible records to 16-year-old wankers. It's difficult to see where the future's coming from because all these people have trouble with the present"
AMY LAME
Ducky Club impresario
"Putting politics into nightclubs, and not having to check your brain cells in as you walk through the door"
EMMA FELINE
DJ: London's Most Wanted
"You can never say what'll happen. There's always gonna be clubbing, I love clubbing but it does get boring sometimes. I'd like to bring more live musicians in and see freestyling vocals"
MATT BLACK
Coldcut DJ, Ninja Tune's founder
"My ideal would be part big chill, part stamp-collecting club, part dance club, and my living room"
DJ SPOONY
Dream Team
"The super-clubs are played out now. Once you start going to smaller clubs the overall production becomes tighter. You don't need trapeze artists, it becomes more about the music"
MICHAEL HORSHAM
Tomato, design collective
"My feeling is that smaller is going to be better. It's got to be about people investing their care in the music they're making. Basically I think that quality will out"
