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.

Something Good Can Work
This 2008 single proved a winner when belted out from Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage. Contenders for performance of the weekend.
Wild Flag
Romance
Sleater-Kinney's Carrie Brownstein and Janet Weiss work together again on this spiky, organ-driven track.
Two Wounded Birds
My Lonesome
This Tarantino-esque surf-pop number was a highlight of TWB's triumphant BBC Introducing stage set at Glasto.
Vivian Girls
Take It As It Comes
The golden combination of 60s girl-group-style spoken-word vocals and a love-sick garage-rock backing.
Pallers
Come Rain, Come Sunshine
Heartstring-tugging electronica. Shimmering keys and a gentle, melancholic vocal transform into a bright dance track halfway through.
Alt-J
Matilda
Don't let their symbol-based name (inspired by the Mac key) distract you from the band's lilting, pastoral music.
Murphy Jax
Time to Bump
There's a vintage feel to this song's synths and melodramatic strings. Eighties acid house a clear influence.
Wilco
Wilco
Angular and awkward yet irrepressibly catchy. Pop and indie meet perfectly.
J Dilla
Last Donut of the Night
Hard-hitting hip-hop that combines 90s beats with 70s soul strings and samples.
