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 A busy time for James Dubois, accountant, chairman of Gainsborough Group and bass voice in the barbershop quartet "Hot Air".

On the accounting front a client is poised to float. At Gainsborough his business centres operation has had a pounds 1m injection from Nat West Development Capital and his early investors have seen their 10p shares rise to 30p. And, Hot Air is appearing on Friday in Blackpool in the Barbershop Quartet finals. Their renditions of "Lu Lu's Back In Town" and "Yes Sir, That's My Baby" are expected to gain them a place, even if it is only as strolling players on the Green in Richmond, raising money for charity for the May Fair on 8 May.
