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.

Peru's presidential front-runner Keiko Fujimori has hired Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City mayor, as an adviser in an effort to bolster her law-and-order credentials without relying on the image of her divisive father, the jailed former President, Alberto Fujimori.

Mr Giuliani, whose tough police tactics were credited for cutting crime in New York, will help Ms Fujimori's campaign to design public safety programmess.

"He has a great record of fighting delinquency, so I think his presence here is helpful to strengthen our proposals," the 35-year-old candidate said.
