Your support helps us to tell the story

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.

Los Angeles (Reuter) - Police arrested 59 people after a demonstration in support of four black men, who are accused of attacking a white truck driver, turned violent in the same area as last spring's riots in Los Angeles.

The demonstration in Los Angeles's South Central neighbourhood on Monday night became a small riot when angry crowds tossed rocks and bottles at police. Twelve people were injured, police said, but no officers were hurt. The South Central intersection of Florence and Normandie Avenues, where the disturbance took place, was quiet yesterday morning.
