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.

When Lucinda Williams played her entire catalogue in LA and New York in 2007, the guest line-up (including Steve Earle, David Byrne and Emmylou Harris) suggested the esteem in which her voice and songs are held.

On an intimate tour with guitarist Doug Pettibone, Williams will mix songs from her latest album, Blessed, alongside nuggets from her back catalogue to wrap her distinctive voice around.
