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.The Government faced a series of pre-Budget protests today by a number of groups campaigning against measures including spending cuts.
Trade union activists, anti-tax avoidance campaigners and anti-Trident group CND held banner-waving demonstrations outside Downing Street shortly before Chancellor George Osborne was due to deliver his Budget speech to the Commons.
Members of direct action group UK Uncut, the Right to Work campaign and a number of unemployed youngsters also stood outside the gates of Downing Street to highlight "soaring" unemployment.
They recreated the Conservatives' 1979 election poster featuring a queue of jobseekers.
