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 Labour conference begins this weekend and with it continues The Independent's series of fringe meetings sponsored by the RSA Group. Having interviewed Vince Cable last week, our esteemed political columnist Steve Richards will on Monday 23rd be sitting down with shadow Chancellor, Ed Balls.
The last few month have seen Labour's economic strategy questioned as the economy returns to growth. Ed Balls will have to convince voters that Labour can plot a different course to the Tories, lessening the burden austerity has loaded on the poor, while maintaining economic credibility after the boom-and-bust years of Gordon Brown.
This is your opportunity to steer the conversation around these topics or other areas you would like to hear the shadow Chancellor explore. Please submit any questions you'd like to be considered for inclusion in the Q&A in the comments section below.
