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.

A nanny who worked for Sharon Stone is suing the actress, claiming the Oscar winner repeatedly insulted her Filipino heritage and sacked her after discovering she was paid overtime.

Erlinda Elemen's harassment action claims Ms Stone insulted her accent, religion and other aspects of her culture in the final months of her employment.

Ms Elemen worked for Ms Stone for four years and was promoted to head nanny. The star's publicist dismissed the claims as "absurd", saying Ms Elemen wanted to "cash in".
