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 radical Sunni Muslim preacher wanted dead or alive by the United States and Yemen urged Muslim scholars yesterday to promote jihad against US and Israeli interests in the region.

Anwar al-Awlaki, who was born in the US, also accused the Shia Muslim power in Iran of trying to extend its influence among Arabs in the Gulf region, in a 23-minute video recording posted on Islamist websites.

The video appears to have been made before a foiled plot involving explosive packages sent from Yemen on planes bound for the United States.
