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.This year's MOBO Awards were handed out at a star-studded ceremony in Leeds.
Stormzy, Stefflon Don and J Hus took home some of the top prizes: Stormzy was awarded three for Best Male Act, Best Album and Best Grime Act.
Jeremy Corbyn shared a message of support for those at the ceremony via a video message. "It's more important than ever that we celebrate black excellence and recognise the achievements of black communities," he said.
"This year grime artists played a huge part in setting the agenda for British music and in the general election, your contribution helped secure the highest youth turnout in a quarter of a century, showing the positive impact grime has on our society."
