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 dancer daughter of a teacher stabbed to death in a Leeds classroom last year is to perform in a gala hosted by Darcey Bussell to raise money for a charity set up in her mother’s name.
The Ann Maguire Gala organised by Emma Maguire, a Royal Ballet soloist, will be staged at Sadlers Wells Theatre on 22 March.
Ms Maguire said: “My mother was an inspirational teacher for generations of young people.
“As a family we felt that setting up a charity that continues her dedication to helping young people is what she would have wanted.”
While the gala is not a Royal Ballet event, many of its stars are set to perform during the evening including principals Edward Watson and Steven McRae.
