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.Legal action to evict protesters from the steps of St Paul's Cathedral could begin "within days" because the local authority believes any further delay to proceedings could undermine its case.
Earlier this month, Occupy London protesters headed off the first legal bid before it even reached court when St Paul's and the City of London Corporation, halted legal action.
But the corporation is said to be ready to start proceedings to remove the 200 tents from around the cathedral's steps. The process would begin with the corporation handing protesters a letter demanding the tents' removal, but an eviction is likely to take months to enact.
A handful of demonstrators held up banners as the Lord Mayor's Show went by without disruption yesterday. Some protesters organised an alternative show, Not the Lord Mayor's Show.
