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.As you read this, Poly Styrene is lying in a hospice with breast cancer. If that wasn't tragic enough, it happens to coincide with an upturn in the punk legend's creativity.
Generation Indigo is a hugely enjoyable electro-pop album which sees the X-Ray Spex singer reprising the eye for cutting social observation she first expressed on classics such as "Germ-Free Adolescents". It's proof, if we needed any, that if we lose Poly, we'll be losing one of the greats.
