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.

Accomplished Montreal folk singer-songwriter and sometime Wailin' Jenny, Chvostek is blessed not only with a lovely voice (at the bottom end, anyway) but also a keen sense of purpose.

Previous albums have journeyed inwards; this one is an outfacing political barrage, invoking her European roots and standing on a variety of high anti-capitalist principles. What will get you, though, is the energy of the ensemble and the twists in her tunes. Enjoyable.
