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.

Indonesian soldiers wielding sticks dispersed a demonstration by Muslim youths in the central Javan city of Yogyakarta yesterday as tensions between contestants in Indonesia's election continued to rise.

Armed troops charged the protest by about 100 Muslim youths after they took to the streets to express anger against a recent attack on the local offices of the Muslim-oriented United Development Party (PPP).
