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.

Radio One DJ Pete Tong has been granted a restraining order against Shara Nelson, the former Massive Attack singer and songwriter, after she was found guilty of harassing him.

Ms Nelson, whose group's biggest hit was the 1991 single "Unfinished Sympathy", had claimed that she was his wife and subjected him to nuisance calls, a court heard.

She was given a 12-month community order and 80 hours' community service by West London magistrates.
