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.After their performance at Reading `98, New Order have been confirmed as headliners for the Mean Fiddler's ambitious and expensive Temptation night on New Year's Eve at Alexandra Palace. Running from 9pm to 10am, the bill also features Underworld, Laurent Garnier and Monkey Mafia playing live while DJ sets come courtesy of the Chemical Brothers (above), Luke Slater, Sasha, The Scratch Perverts and many many more. The Alexandra Palace is fast becoming a favourite for big promoters looking to do things on New Year's Eve and hopefully the Mean Fiddler will be able to overcome some of the organisational difficulties that were encountered last year. Laurent Garnier, Underworld and New Order will also be at the Manchester Evening News Arena on 29 December.
