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.Ear plugs will be given out at a series of clubs nights designed to raise money for the British Tinnitus Association (BTA).
Stevenage DJ James Dettner will host the first event on August 11 where revellers will be offered free earplugs and information from the BTA.
The evening will feature sets from DJs Checkmate, Tom Stuart Gallagher, DataBASS and Hinchy & Wyrmyn.
James, who is one half of double-act DJ Checkmate, chose to support the BTA as family and friends have the condition.
He said: "This certainly promises to be a fun evening in aid of a very good cause."
Half of ticket sales will be donated to the BTA. If the event raises £300 it will allow the BTA to run its freephone helpline for three days, giving support and advice to callers.
Tickets cost £2 in advance for the gig at the Times Club, in Stevenage, and are available from James by calling 07951 453616. Tickets on the door will cost £5. The event runs from 6pm to midnight and will include a barbecue.
