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.

Q&A with Frenship
What are you listening to at the moment?
A little bit of everything at the moment. Some Brian Eno, Sting, Gordi, Leon, Peter Gabriel, the 1975. We could go on and on but those are some highlights right now!
What are your plans for 2017?
2017 is all about trying to get an album done all the while touring as much as we can. We have a lot of festivals in the USA this summer and are looking at doing a USA headline tour in the fall.
What's it been like touring with Bastille?
It has been incredible and inspiring. We're learning a ton from them in such a period of time and it's given us plenty of ideas as to how to improve our show/band overall. And all of the guys have have treated us and our crew really well, which is great to see from an artist at that level. No egos at all. Not to mention, they have some of the best fans that have welcomed us with open arms.
What was the first gig you ever played and what's been the best so far?
The first gig we ever played was at the Silverlake lounge in Los Angeles. It was terrible, we were really bad and didn't really know how to make sense of these songs in the live form yet. It was just the two of us singing to a backing track pretty much.
Our favourite gig was probably on this European tour with Bastille. Madrid was amazing, the fans were super energetic. Antwerp, Belgium was also incredible and that was certainly the most people we've ever played for.
