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.

You always know what you're getting with this Brooklyn-based Afrobeat 12-piece: half a dozen tracks in which the groove is everything, and it rolls along for a good 10 minutes before the next one takes its place.

Connoisseurs will delight in the controlled punch, the forward roll, the sheer discipline that goes into making such a coolly hot record. But casual bystanders might wish for more memorable songs or some advancement of the form.
