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 worker has committed suicide at Foxconn Technology Group's south China manufacturing complex, the company said, the latest in a string of young migrant workers who have died at its factories this year.

The company, a key manufacturer of iPhones and iPads for Apple and computer gadgets for other global brands like Hewlett Packard and Dell, said a 23-year-old male employee was found dead early yesterday outside a dormitory. Labour rights groups say there were at least 13 suicides at Foxconn's factories across China this year before Friday's death.
