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.

A CARNIVAL of Caribbean and South American music and dance is being staged in London this weekend to mark the 'discovery' of the New World by Christopher Columbus 500 years ago. Traditional music ensembles from Jamaica, Trinidad, Venezuela, Cuba, Guadeloupe, the Virgin Islands and Belize, home of the Black Caribs or Garifuna, (above) will stage a series of concerts highlighting the varied roots of Caribbean culture. More than 75 artistes are involved performing 50 different dances, songs and musical compositions reflecting African, Amerindian, Indian, Spanish, French and English influences. The Caribbean Music Village is being staged at Orleans House, Riverside, Twickenham, today, 7pm-10pm, and tomorrow, 6.30pm- 10pm; and also on Sunday, 2pm-6pm, at Lea Valley Park, Waltham Forest
