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.

Police have launched an urgent search for two teenage sisters in Yorkshire who were last seen carrying suitcases.

CCTV Footage released by West Yorkshire Police shows Halima Ahmed, 15, and Khadeeja Ahmed, 14, wearing dark clothing and headscarves as cameras caught them near their home in Halifax.

Both girls were carrying small and bright hand luggage-sized suitcases that appeared to be silver and pink.
