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 Independent's political cartoonist Dave Brown has been presented with the Cartoon Art Trust's prestigious Award for Caricature 2002.

The ceremony was held at London's Mall Galleries, close to Buckingham Palace, where the galleries are hosting an exhibition of royal lampoonery down the ages. Accepting the award from the newsreader Anna Ford, Dave said: "I am delighted to have been honoured in this way, and I hope that before long the Cartoon Art Trust will succeed in its ambition to found a permanent museum of cartooning."

Brown, 45, started his career on The Sunday Times in 1989, working for many national publications before joining The Independent in 1996.
