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.

Last night (4 November) saw the 2016 MOBO Awards take place in Glasgow's SSE Hydro - and it was a big night for R&B artist Craig David.

The singer, who performed at the ceremony alongside Clean Bandit and Izzy Bazu, won the best male act award - his first victory since taking home three awards in 2001.

This past year has seen David enjoy a successful comeback which was capped with his sixth record Following My Intuition hitting number one in the UK album charts.

Lady Leshurr was awarded best female act while other winners included Kano and Drake (best international artist).
