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.

LOS ANGELES (Reuter) - In a bid to boost the standing of Russian President Boris Yeltsin, the US and other Western nations are assembling an aid package of at least pounds 28 billion that can be announced next week, the Los Angeles Times said yesterday. Western officials were reported to have said they hoped the aid would be enough to have an impact on Russian public opinion in time for the referendum on Mr Yeltsin's reform plans on 25 April.
