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.

Coachella, the Californian music festival famous for its relentless sun, beautiful A-list guests and fondness for resurrecting dead rappers via hologram, has just announced the inaugural SS Coachella, a festival at sea.

Departing from Florida this December, they will make two voyages, one through the Bahamas, the second to Jamaica. Pulp will be headlining, while the likes of Warpaint, Grimes and Black Lips will also be entertaining punters. In January the Weezer cruise headed off to Mexico, carrying the alternative rock band and 2,800 fans, but SS Coachella is the first established festival to branch out to the high seas. Can we expect Glastonbury to follow suit?
