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.A milestone in the reconstruction of the spectacular New Synagogue in Berlin has been passed with the unveiling of a lecture hall. The synagogue was wrecked by the Nazis on Kristallnacht in 1938 and destroyed by Allied bombers. Since the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, the Jewish community in the city has grown from 6,000 to 10,000, due to immigration from the former Soviet Union.
