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.

Debut single by this London-based six-piece mixes a shuffling Johnny Cash-esque rhythm with a catchy guitar line that calls to mind Johnny Marr at his least melancholic.

Sleigh Bells, the much talked about, MIA-endorsed Brooklyn duo (above), pile grinding beats and guitars on top of oddly sweet vocals in this youthful call to arms.
Madlib, Static Invazion
The prolific producer digs out early beats from his vaults for the latest in his monthly releases for Stones Throw.
Sia, Clap Your Hands (Diplo Remix)
This meticulously crafted remix, full of bleeps, hand claps and bouncing bass is seriously addictive.
Bob Dylan, Political World
Given the week's events, it seemed a good moment to seek out the stirring opening track from Bob Dylan's 1989 return-to-form album 'Oh Mercy'.
