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.A small boy leapt to the defence of a woman being catcalled by a stranger by telling him off.
Julia Price was on her morning run when a man, who she described as "well-dressed" and "on his lunch break from an office job" began catcalling her.
After she ignored him, he allegedly told her to "eff off, dumb b**ch".
"That was my trigger point," Ms Price wrote on Facebook. She ripped off her headphones and prepared to confront the man when a little boy walking alongside his mother and little sister told the man off for his rude behaviour.
"Hey," he said. "That is not nice to say to her and she didn't like you yelling at her.
"You shouldn't do that because she is a nice girl and I don't let anyone say mean things to people.
"She's a girl like my sister and I will protect her."
I was on my usual running path when I heard an older man yelling loudly enough for me to hear through my headphones. "...

The man was supposedly immediately embarrassed and gathered his lunch to leave.
Ms Price wrote: "According to his mother, this is a typical day in the life of James.
"Thank you so much to the mothers and fathers who are raising the next generation to be brave and courageous, and to be little earth angels for all.
"I am so touched."
