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.

AFTER SOLD-out London club dates in June and the release of his As Above, So Below album, word is spreading fast about the Barry Adamson Experience (right). On stage, the ex-Magazine and Bad Seeds bassist orchestrates a set which begins with a cinematic jazz ambience and builds up to a manic guitar workout. Anyone who can make a meaningful and almost seamless transition from lounge lizard to punk maniac inside an hour has to be special.
