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.

It's another cracking line-up on the Spencer estate, for the annual festival's 10th birthday. AN Wilson opens proceedings on Thursday, talking about his latest novel, The Potter's Hand.

Elsewhere over the three days are Frances Osborne, Paddy Ashdown, Ann Widdecombe, Alison Weir, Alison Steadman, Julian Fellowes, Con Coughlin, David Starkey, Antonia Fraser, Stanley Johnson, Ed Smith, Deborah Moggach, Michael Palin, Clive Aslet, Artemis Cooper, William Dalrymple, Peter Ackroyd, Alexander McCall Smith and Wilbur Smith.
