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.

"We had a babysitter who was a bit of a punk so she passed on her less cool albums to my brother and me. That's how I became a fan of Adam & the Ants. We went to a gig of theirs with my Mum and Dad in Leeds. My Grandma had made us jackets with gold braiding and we wore all the make-up. I guess we were eight and 10.
David Axelrod | An Anthology 68-70
David Axelrod is a producer who used to do a lot of work on Reprise, Frank Sinatra's label. It's a stunning album. It's big on strings and arrangements and on breakbeat and mad fuzzy wah-wah guitar. It sounds like contemporary dance music made using old technology. It has a jazzy feel but it's difficult to pigeonhole because there are so many different styles along the way."
Embrace's 'Drawn From Memory' is out now on Virgin Records
