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.

Liverpool hope is the first university to announce it will not charge students the maximum £9,000 in tuition fees next year.

The vice-chancellor, Professor Gerald Pillay, told staff it was not fair to transfer all of the government debt to graduates.

A spokesman said that details of the fees would be released once they were approved by the university's council and it had received information on added responsibilities to ensure poorer students were accepted on courses.

Cambridge and Imperial College have decided to charge £9,000.
