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.

MAN OF THE proletariat Karl Marx (right) is the subject of Sound Stories (11am R3): excerpts from Verdi's Nabucco and Schulhoff's The Communist Manifesto help to set the mood. Performance on 3 (7.30pm R3) airs a concert recorded at the Royal Northern College of Music's first Festival of Brass last month: featured work is by Philip Wilby and John McCabe.

To mark Ash Wednesday, there's a new series, Lent Talks (8.45pm R4), in the first of which the novelist AN Wilson discusses his loss of faith but residing affection for the Church.

Money talks later tonight in Mammon (11.30pm R4FM), a repeat of episode one of the timely and promising anti- corporation satire.
