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.

If I weren't talking to you right now I'd be...
I've got the day off, so I'd be enjoying a nice lunch.
I'm fronting Sugar Puff's Hive Action charity campaign because...
I really like charities so I volunteered for this one. The aim is to raise money for beehives in Africa.
A common misperception of me is...
That I'm a pushover because I'm quiet. I always stand up for the things that I believe in, especially my friends and family.
I'm good at...
Match-making. Or maybe I just think I'm good at it - no one has got married yet! Tee hee.
But I'm very bad at...
Going to the orthodontist. I went for the first time in three months yesterday, even though I'm getting a brace fitted soon.
I wish people would take more notice of...
Charities, especially Hive Action.
The most surprising thing that ever happened to me was...
My zipper opening while I was talking to Prince Charles and Prince William at Buckingham Palace during the Queen's Jubilee. I'm not sure if they noticed but it was nice of Shirley Bassey to fix it for me in the Ladies'.
The ideal night out is...
Going out to bars with my mum and all my close friends.
In moments of weakness I...
Buy things I can't afford. Last week I almost bought a convertible Jaguar just because I liked it. If I hadn't phoned a friend who talked me out of it, I'd definitely have bought it.
You know me as a singer, but in a truer life I'd...
Be a barrister. Law used to be my obsession while singing was just a hobby.
The best age to be is...
25. I'm 25 now and I love it. But if you ask me next year, I'll say 26.
In a nutshell, my philosophy is...
If you can't spell it, don't eat it. You won't catch me on I'm A Celebrity... eating bugs.
