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.

He believes designs which simply “add and add” details are more easily done than scaling back to linear basics. After leaving his former job as a fashion industry manager, he now designs and inks intricate body art, implementing a single, simple black line.
Speaking to Tattrx, an international tattoo artist directory, Mr Ganji said “My [former] career was based on values I don’t believe in. A lot of people are in a similar situation, but nowadays they’d rather live a “safe” life with a “safe” income and they are willing to sell their beliefs and their freedom for it.”
Born in Iran but living in Berlin, he creates tattoos based around individual style and as such, has a wide portfolio. For example, he designed fox, elephant and other animal tattoos alongside intricate forest scenery and a world map.
On leaving his job to pursue his passion for body art, he added: “The funny thing is that nothing with value can be bought and values are what define us”
