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.

Tonight (Sunday 3 October) is the first results show of the 2021 series of Strictly Come Dancing.

To open the show, singer Tom Grennan is joining the Strictly professionals for a group routine set in a western saloon.

Grennan is a 26-year-old artist from Bedford. He found fame as the guest vocalist on Chase & Status’s "All Goes Wrong", which was featured as the Hottest Record on Annie Mac’s BBC Radio 1 show.

Singer-songwriter Griff will also be in the ballroom to perform her new single, “One Night”. Griff, real name Sarah Faith Griffiths, was named the Rising Star at the 2021 Brit Awards, becoming one of the youngest winners in the category at 20. Soon afterwards, she released her debut mixtape, One Foot in Front of the Other, to commercial success and critical acclaim.

Tonight will see the first contestant of the series be eliminated after a dance-off with another celebrity. The two couples in the dance-off have been decided after the judges’ scores were combined with public votes.
