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.

Petrol bombs and rocks were launched at police trucks as protesters took to the streets of Ankara on Saturday night after a terrorist blast in the area killed 95 people, the countries worst terrorist attack to date.

Resentment to authorities has reached an all-time high as many in the area believe the state may have been involved, or had prior knowledge of the attack.

The Turkish AKP "The Justice and Development Party" have vowed to bring those responsible to justice.
