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.

The Anglo-Asian sketch show employs a range of shocking comic characters and offers a wry, often sly view of British culture from an Asian perspective. Written by Meera Syal, Sanjeev Bhasker, Nina Wadia and Kurvinder Ghir.

NEW MODEL ARMY have championed the post-punk Goth genre, with militant anthems such as "Spirit of the Falklands" and their working-class themes. Since the 1980s they have maintained credibility by crafting emotional and poignant lyrics and despite lacking chart success, they still attract fans from all musical factions.
