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.Workers at the National Gallery will stage the first strike since the formation of the new Government when they walk out tomorrow in a row over pay.
Warders and shop staff at the gallery in London will take industrial action for two hours tomorrow lunchtime as part of a campaign to achieve the so-called London Living Wage of £7.60 an hour.
Mark Serwotka, general secretary of the Public and Commercial Services union, said: "Our members provide valuable services at what is one of London's major cultural attractions, but they are living on poverty pay.
"During the election campaign, there was general agreement between the main parties that civil and public servants in London deserve to be paid the living wage. This will be an early test for the new Government to show its commitment to fair pay."
