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.

The Divine Comedy
Something for the more sensitive listener - a touch of the Pet Shop Boys' wit, a dash of the Television Personalities' archness and Bob's yer uncle. Deserving of a place in the Britpop footnotes.

COMING UP
Fleadh
The Celtic shindig proves once again that, just like the song says, you don't have to be Irish to be Irish. Sting tops a bill featuring Lloyd Cole and Jools Holland. Hurrah for warm beer and sunstroke!
