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.

Four British soldiers and a translator have been freed by Bosnian Serb authorities after six days in a Bosnian jail, accused of spying in Serb-held territory. ``They are in good health and have in no way been mistreated,'' said Major David Falcke, a UN spokesman. ``We are extremely pleased to have them back with us.''
The five: Fl-Lt Michael Smeath; Royal Marines Francis Dunn, Daniel Mallik and Wayne Wilden; and a Croatian interpreter, Silvija Skunca, were handed over to their commanding officer on the front line south of Kupres yesterday. UN officials described the Serb accusations against the group as ``ludicrous''.
