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.

With the Strictly Come Dancing 2019 launch date waltzing ever closer, BBC One has revealed the names of the celebrity contestants who will be taking to the dance floor this year.

From footballers and soap stars to comedians and YouTubers, here’s the full list of confirmed celebrities.

In July, it was announced that new judge Motsi Mabuse (and sister of pro dancer Oti) would replace ballerina Darcey Bussell, who stepped down from the judging panel after seven years.

Joining Mabuse will be returning judges Craig Revel Horwood, Shirley Ballas and Bruno Tonioli with Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman back to host the show.

Last year’s series saw broadcaster Stacey Dooley lift the glitterball trophy with professional partner Kevin Clifton.

Strictly Come Dancing will return to BBC One in September.
