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.

Google's latest Doodle celebrates the Twenty20 World Cup final that takes place today between India and Sri Lanka in Mirpur.

The six colourful illustrations that replace the letters in the word Google depict cricketers batting, bowling and fielding along with cheering crowd scene, stumps being scattered and a hand tossing a cricket ball.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) held the inaugural limited overs World Cup in 2007 in South Africa with India taking the title. Today they hope to win it for a second time against the Sri Lankans who have never won the tournament, losing in their two previous final appearances.
