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.Tens of thousands have taken to the streets of London to protest the Conservative government’s austerity measures - but despite the seriousness of their message humour abounds in protesters’ banners.
The march, believed to be the largest since the election of the Conservative government in May, was organised by the People’s Assembly.
Russell Brand, Charlotte Church and Caroline Lucas will address the gathered crowds, with Guardian journalist Owen Jones already speaking.
The demonstration will draw attention to the cuts - some already implented and some in planning - with an especial focus on homelessness, inequality and child poverty.
Social media has been flooded by images and vines of the protesters. We collected our favourite banners so far:
These images also show the humour on the march. The picture directly below is by artist Kaya Mar (you can see more of his politically-inspired work here).
