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.

Sinead O'Connor (right), making a rare London appearance, is second on the bill while Beth Orton, Lisa Loeb, Alison Moyet and N'Dea Davenport also sing in a "celebration of women in music" which promises to grow into a full European tour next year.

The current buzz band among critics seems to be the rather unclassifiable Beta Band. Live they appear as four weirdly dressed multi-instrumentalists with a tendency to swap instruments in mid-tune. Blending every musical style from folk strains to psychedelic beats, they aim high and somehow in the end manage to achieve their musical aims and inspire audiences across the country. Their current CD, The 3 EPs, is outstanding. Lemon Tree, Aberdeen (01224 642 230) 8pm
