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.

This month, Buzzcocks play the Vintage at Goodwood festival, and tour the UK through autumn. Their Singles Going Steady is still available for less than £5.

I mention this so that none of you do anything silly like buy a CD or attend a concert by Wavves, a bunch of 'Cocks (via Soup Dragons) impersonators from San Diego who, along with the execrable Drums, prove that the US has finally caught up with twee C86-style schmindie jangle. And they have the nerve to sample "Da Doo Ron Ron", for which they should drowwn.
