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.

Ilya Musin
He entered the St Petersburg Conservatoire in 1919 and has never left; he's taught virtually every major Russian maestro, from Rudolf Barshai to Valery Gergiev, plus a new young generation of Western conductors, including our own Martyn Brabbins and Sian Edwards. And now, at the age of 92, he's finally making his British debut, in a programme of Mozart, Prokofiev and Rimsky-Korsakov with the RPO.
