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.

Dozens of Britain's NHS nurses have gathered outside the Department of Health to protest against low pay.

Theresa May has been warned dire staffing shortages have left the health service on the brink of another Mid-Staffs scandal, putting hundreds of lives at risk.

The Royal College of Nursing accuses the Government of failing to respond to signs that the tragedy, which Ms May branded "inevitable", is about to happen again.
