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.

The last time the Great Dane was in cinemas with Scooby-Doo: Monsters Unleashed he bombed, but given that his previous 2002 movie starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, Freddie Prinze Jr, Matthew Lillard and Linda Cardellini took over $275 million worldwide I guess someone at Warner Bros went: "Eh, might as well then."
According to Indiewire, Randall Green has been tasked with writing a script relevant to an audience that didn't grow up on Scooby-Doo, with Charles Roven returning to produce but no word on a director yet.
The news comes just days after the death of Casey Kasem, who was the voice of Shaggy in the original cartoon.
There are also plans for a new animated Scooby-Doo series over at Cartoon Network, which is set to make its debut later this year.
