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.Activists from the Occupy movement chained themselves to the pulpit of St Paul's Cathedral during a service today, to mark the anniversary of the formation of their protest camp outside.
In a statement on their website the protesters said they wanted to bring pressure on the leadership of St Paul's to "stop sitting on the fence and join the fight against rising inequality in the UK and beyond".
The original camp against global inequality was set up a year ago tomorrow outside St Paul's after being moved from the nearby Stock Exchange and remained until February.
Cathedral staff said the protesters are not regarded as trespassers and they were happy for them to be there.
