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.Julius Malema, the Youth League leader, will appeal against his expulsion from the ruling African National Congress, saying he is being persecuted for his calls to nationalise mines and seize white-owned farmland.
The ANC expelled Mr Malema, 30, last week, for sowing division and bringing it into disrepute.
But the ANC Youth League said yesterday it would "never agree that its leadership be subjected to unfair and unjust treatment or banished for narrow political purposes."
