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.

It’s official; Latitude is less than a fortnight away.

Time to dust off the tent, rummage through the festival wardrobe, crack open the pimms and blast out Elbow’s greatest hits at work. Festival season can now begin.

In fact, so excited are we, that we hunted down Ben Howard, our penultimate Sunday act on the Obelisk Arena, to chat about why he’s so excited to play at Latitude, where we’ll find him dancing late at night on-site and check out what he won’t leave home without!

Ben Howard’s emotive, alt-folk inspired performances have won him critical praise and his debut album, Every Kingdom, was a UK top ten. Make sure you are there for what promises to be a spell-binding performance as the sun sets on the Sunday evening at Latitude.
