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.

Middle man: The England captain Mike Atherton (above) deals with a delivery from Trinidad and Tobago's Nigel Francis in Pointe-a-Pierre, Trinidad yesterday. Playing for the first time since the first Test in Jamaica was abandoned on Thursday, Atherton made 61, while his opening partner Alec Stewart (right) hit 73 in a first wicket partnership of 131. The match at Guaracara Park was played against the imposing backdrop of the Petrotrin oil refinery.
