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.Lady Solti and her two daughters outside Westminster Abbey yesterday after a tribute to the conductor Sir Georg Solti who died last year.
Prince Charles was there to hear Dame Kiri Te Kanawa sing a Richard Strauss aria as musicians played some of Solti's favourite pieces and Dame Diana Rigg read from the Book of Revelations.
In his address, the Dean of Westminster, Dr Wesley Carr, described Solti as 'one of the most distinguished and influential musicians of this century, a truly international figure'
