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.

Chaka Khan (Hammersmith Apollo, 081-741 4868, Thurs). Her name is Yvette Stevens, and she is funky.

Mica Paris (Clapham Grand, 071-734 8932, Thurs; London Forum, 071-284 2200, Fri). South London's feistiest soul diva fights Chaka for an audience.

Sugar (Brixton Academy, 071-326 1022, tomorrow). Bob Mould's subtly cacophonous power trio pauses at an identity crossroads - will it be depressing or uplifting? Come, Bivouac and Madder Rose support.

John Prine (Clapham Grand, 071-734 8932, Fri). Elegiac country singer- songwriter with a fine line in between- tune chat.
