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.

US soldiers piling up ammunition and weapons in the desert outside Mogadishu before using explosives to destroy them. Tons of arms seized from civilians by the US-led task force, in Somalia to speed up deliveries of humanitarian aid, have been destroyed since December. Until the arrival of the task force, bands of gunmen loyal to local warlords had been looting the food aid, bringing famine that has killed more than 300,000 people in the past two years
