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.

Two things every music fan loves is a lost classic and a band who should have been contenders. So if you thrilled to Shack when you discovered them, allow me introduce to your next favourite album. It’s called Portobellohello and it was recorded by the Studio 68! in 1992. The fact that it was never released only adds to the magic. “We called our sound Future Retro,” says singer-guitarist (now writer) Paul Moody. Call it what you want, it’s finally getting a release next month
