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.Direct action group UK Uncut is to stage a series of street parties "with a twist" in the run-up to the Queen's Jubilee celebrations and the Olympics, including plans to block roads.
Events will be held in towns and cities across the country with the aim of protesting against the Government's spending cuts and the closure of local public services.
UK Uncut said it wanted to highlight cuts to public services which were being set up the last time the Olympics were held in London, in 1948.
Rachel Woodhead, a supporter of UK Uncut, said: "We know we are paying the price for the banks' greed and recklessness. We know that the Government lets big business dodge tax and slashes tax rates for the wealthy while choosing to punish us.
"We know that multinational companies rake in billions in profits but contribute next to nothing, despite sitting on massive surpluses of cash.
"We can let the Government and corporations control our future. Or we can fight, taking our future out of the hands of a tiny group of millionaires to instead create a future which benefits everyone."
