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.

Danny Trejo is an undercover cop in LA whose grandson is kidnapped by a criminal kingpin, Carlito Kane (Jonathan Banks). Kane hopes to save his own son, who is on death row, by bartering hostages.
The film was produced by Robert Rodriguez but, strangely, completely lacks the tongue-in-cheek humour and self-parodic elements that partially redeems the Machete films he made with Trejo.
