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.

Freddie Hubbard

Still three nights left to catch this tough bop trumpeter's residency in Islington. He's fast, he's flash, he's broader than broad, and he featured on more good early Sixties Blue Notes than was strictly necessary.

To Sun 8.30pm, London Rhythmic N1 (0171-713 5859)

COMING UP

The Essential Music Festival

Book now for the first squelch-fest in spring. Highlights include Underworld, Goldie, Lightning Seeds, Burning Spear and, way-hay, Lee "Scratch" Perry.

25-27 May, 1pm, Brighton Stanmer Park (Info: 01273 887878 / 01273 888787)
