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.

Fifty-four US Catholic bishops, claiming that seven years of sanctions had caused the death of more than 1 million Iraqis, yesterday urged President Bill Clinton, in a letter, to work for "immediate cessation" of UN sanctions, saying they violate the human rights of Iraqis because they "deprive innocent people of food and medicine." The Security Council and Clinton administration say the embargo will remain as long as Iraq refuses to destroy all chemical, biological, and other weapons of mass destruction. - AP, Washington
