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.

Police have released the 911 call made by Amanda Berry, after she escaped from the house she was held in captive for a decade.

Berry was rescued by neighbour Charles Ramsey before she called the emergency services and alerted them to the two other woman imprisoned at the property in Cleveland, Ohio.

She can be heard on the recording saying: "Hello, police. Help me, I'm Amanda Berry. I need police... I've been kidnapped and I've been missing for 10 years and I'm here, I'm free now."

Berry disappeared on her way home from her job at Burger King, the day before her 17th birthday.

The two other women have been identified as Gina DeJesus, 23, who vanished in 2004 at age 14, and Michelle Knight, who was reported to have been 20 when she disappeared more than a decade ago.
