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 group of people in China have been rescued after they were nearly swept away by a fast-flowing river when torrential rain struck.
The three men and a boy were having a BBQ on the side of the Wulei Mountain on Monday afternoon when they were hit by the sudden downpour, leaving them stranded on one side of a fast-flowing river.
Although they were quick to call for help, it took the emergency services an hour to arrive. They were eventually rescued after two firefighters tied a length of rope across two trees and used it to climb across.
