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.

First of all, we got to have a look at the titular character with his family. The following day, photos of Paul Thornley and Noma Dumezweni as Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger respectively were released.
Today, we get our first look at Draco Malfoy and his child, Scorpius, played by Alex Price and Anthony Boyle, both with bleached white hair.
Speaking about the characters, author JK Rowling said: “I love Draco and Scorpius – they actually look related!” She added: “I've got a feeling Scorpius is going to do nothing to turn girls off the Malfoy men.”
The story of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child will be told in two parts, the scripts of both soon to be made available in book form. The story is not a prequel but is set 19 years after the events of The Deathly Hallows - Read everything we know about the play, here.
