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 female television presenters have stripped naked to film a message of support for the Venezuelan national team at the Copa America.

Eight presenters from news website Desnudando la Noticia stripped naked to send a message to Noel Sanvicente's team, who begin their campaign against Colombia on Sunday.

The presenters, who call the players 'gladiators' in their message of support, have also promised to release more naked videos if the team progresses into the latter stages.

Venezuela managed to get to the semi-finals in 2011, where they lost on penalties to Paraguay.

The presenters claim their presenting style is aimed at "empowering women".

Venezuela surprisingly won their opening match of the competition against Colombia thanks to a second-half header from Salomon Rondon.
