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.

Hillary Clinton held her first official presidential rally on New York's Roosevelt Island, bringing out supporters from all over the spectrum to celebrate her presidential campaign.

Crowds funneled onto the island - just one stop from Manhattan on the subway - to attend the rally, which featured a live band, a drum line and much fanfare.

Here are some of the sights and sounds - before Mrs Clinton even took the stage - from the first rally of what figures to be many for the Democratic front-runner.
