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.

The touring music festival, Lilith Fair, which highlights women musicians from around the world, will be resurrected in 2010, after a hiatus since its successful three-year run, 1997-1999. Co-founded by Sarah McLachlan, who will perform, Mary J. Blige will also headline the concert tour, scheduled for the summer.

Other artists joining the lineup include Sheryl Crow, Erykah Badu, Colbie Caillat, Ke$ha, Indigo Girls, Emmylou Harris, Jill Scott, and Sugarland.

Lilith 2010 will visit North American cities, including New York, Los Angeles, Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Chicago, among others on the itinerary. It plans a two-week series of dates in Europe and the UK.

Emerging artists are part of the concert event and a local talent search via the website. Other musicians confirmed include Zee Avi of Malaysia, Corinne Bailey Rae, Miranda Lambert, Metric, The Weepies.

ABC Entertainment just signed on for a multimedia promotion online and for television programming.
