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 Kamala Harris delivered a keynote speech at the biennial gathering of the historically Black sorority Zeta Phi Beta in Indianapolis on Wednesday, 24 July.

The vice president addressed Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.’s Grand Boulé.

It comes just three days after launching her bid for the White House following Joe Biden’s decision to drop out of the 2024 race.

The president sent political shockwaves around the country on Sunday (21 July) with a post on social media announcing that he was not accepting the Democrat nomination.

It came after mounting pressure about Mr Biden’s age and ability to take on Republican rival Donald Trump.

Ms Harris is campaigning for the support of voters in a state that has not backed a Democratic presidential candidate in almost 16 years.

After visiting Indianapolis, Ms Harris will travel to Houston on Thursday to address the national convention of the American Federation of Teachers, an organisation which has endorsed her candidacy.
