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.

David Cameron will take his Cabinet out on the road tomorrow - in the first away-day meeting for the coalition Government's top team, Downing Street said today.

The Prime Minister is keen to continue the practice, revived by Labour predecessor Gordon Brown for the first time since the 1920s, of hosting meetings outside London.

As under the previous administration, the day will also include a series of visits by Ministers related to their areas of responsibility.

Details of the location have not been publicly revealed.

Labour was accused of using the events to target marginal constituencies in the run up to the general election amid criticism of the cost - reported to be £100,000 a time.

A Number 10 spokesman said: "Everything is going to be done to keep the cost to an absolute minimum."
