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.

CONCERT series do not come more accident-prone than the Wigmore Hall's 'Prague 1875- 1900'. Our review reported a taxi dash to replace double-bass parts lost when a bomb went off at Bremen Airport. Next day, the cellist Evzen Rattay, en route to play in the Schubert Quintet, was mugged in Brussels by a 10-strong gang and lost his passport and work permit - only deft work in London stopped him being sent back to Prague. The three-part series had begun after the fogbound Kocian Quartet travelled out at the last minute by train. Who says it's a cushy life?
