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.

You might question the wisdom of a nerdy Canadian scratch DJ trying to make a blues album. But the blues is a big church, and there's no doubting the expressiveness with which the Kid physically manipulates his samples.

With a wave of the hand, he magics a single sustained note on an old piece of vinyl into a whole harmonica or slide-guitar solo. These are tipsy juke-joint stompers with feeling in their heart as well as dust in their grooves.
