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.

Watch as hundreds of thousands of Israelis take to the streets for a "National Day of Resistance" against judicial overhaul.

This feed shows the scene in Tel Aviv on Thursday, 16 March, in the latest of a series of demonstrations against the controversial move.

Demonstrators are against Benjamin Netanyahu’s plans to weaken the judicial system.

According to local news reports, five people have been arrested on Thursday after protests broke out before dawn.

Protesters painted a bright red line in the street leading up to the Supreme Court in Jerusalem, according to The Times of Israel.

They said it symbolises the link between the independence of the courts and free speech.
