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.

The trouble began after about 100 residents began a protest march from the site in East Flatbush where 16-year-old Kimani Gray was shot by two police officers on Saturday night. A group of marchers began overturning fruit stands, grabbing rubbish bins and hurling whatever they had at hand at a police station.
According to the NYPD, Kimani was shot by officers after he reached into his waistband allegedly to retrieve a handgun. A revolver was found at the scene, although the teenager’s family has insisted that he could not have been carrying a weapon.
