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.Keith Preddie, 25, was among about 200 Michael Jackson fans who gathered in Piccadilly Circus, London, yesterday to protest the singer's innocence of child abuse allegations.
Continuing his 'Dangerous' world concert tour, Jackson performed yesterday - his 35th birthday - at the National Stadium in Singapore before a capacity crowd of 47,000, including his friend, the actress Elizabeth Taylor.
Many fans joined in singing 'Happy Birthday, Michael,' when the band interrupted Jackson's third number with the song.
