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.

"Those concerned by Coldplay's clear interest in massive popularity probably jumped ship years ago. The rest are left with the best — maybe the only — rock band of the day capable of a truly engaging crossover." avclub.com

"Underneath all the jittery electronic production that on the surface might seem like the band is trying something new, it's really just a facade for some of their most simplistic writing to date.... they are certainly capable of doing much better." onethirtybpm.com

"The collection of softies is among their best – the measured beauty of breakup weeper "Up in Flames" and "U.F.O." confidently update the guilelessness of 'Parachutes' through a self-described and self-explanatory 'Enoxification'." pitchfork.com
