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.

His take on tango and Argentine cowboy music is also more po-mo than gaucho: Twenties street-corner culture re-imagined through new settings of old poems, with traditional instruments given a very occasional electronic twist. Recorded in Buenos Aires and Paris, and enclosed in a fab three-dimensional case, these 11 songs make a perfect soundtrack for that difficult-to-fill 4am hangover slot.
