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.The 2018 World Cup is nearly at an end.
We've reached the final after two dramatic semi-final match-ups. France are there after seeing off Belgium in a nervy last four clash in St Petersburg and they will play Croatia after Mario Mandzukic's goal sent England home empty handed.
The final will take place in Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium on Sunday June 15.
