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.Take That frontman Gary Barlow has signed up to play what could be the smallest gig of his career - in DJ Chris Evans' pub.
The singer will play the Dine And Disco event at the Mulberry Inn in Chiddingfold, Surrey, to raise money for Children In Need.
Appearing on Evans' BBC Radio Two show today, he said: "I've played many venues in my life - stadiums, arenas, theatres. I've always dreamed of playing this venue, which is the only reason I've agreed to it really other than the charity aspect".
Tickets for the gig, which will be held next year, will be raffled to raise money for Children In Need.
The annual event has raised millions of pounds for good causes since it was set up in 2007 and has featured performances from The Proclaimers, James Blunt and Paloma Faith.
