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.

Scattering its musical treasures like petals through April, La Linea opens with Toumani Diabaté's left-field collaboration with Brazilian poet Arnaldo Antunes and guitarist Edgard Scandurra, A Curva Da Cintura, at Union Chapel, and Cuba's most popular contemporary group, trumpeter Alexander Abreu's Havana D'Primera, making their UK debut at Electric Brixton.

Later in the month, there's a Mexican-Balkans brass standoff at the Barbican, the returns of flamenco singer Buika and Fado star Ana Moura, Latin psychedelia from Bogota with the Meridian Brothers, and hip-hop from Mala Rodriguez in a rare UK appearance.
