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.

We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Port-au-Prince - The United Nations and a Roman Catholic relief organisation, the Catholic Justice and Peace Commission, accused the Haitian army and a far-right paramilitary group, the Front for the Advancement and Progress of Haiti (Fraph), of waging a campaign of terror and murder in the country.
The front has been spreading its reach throughout Haiti, leaving a trail of violence against sympathisers of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, ousted in a 1991 coup. 'Fraph is the only political movement whose members have been linked to assassinations and rapes,' a UN spokesman said. The Justice Commission accused the front of terrorising the Cite Soleil slum.
