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.

Illegal bird traps

After magistrates in Norwich fined gamekeeper David Millican, 42, pounds 1,500 after he admitted setting illegal traps for birds of prey around the Kimberley Hall Estate in Norfolk, officials from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds warned that the law was being regularly flouted because of the widespread view among landowners and gamekeepers that birds of prey were vermin.
