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.

The first performance at the O2 Arena in London, which holds 20,000 people, reportedly sold out in 42 seconds. But the bargain basement website was offering top price £95 tickets at half price for shows on four days next week.
It follows a previous two for one promotion on the site that even included the “sold out” 1 July show.
The Double 8 tickets website, which normally charges above face value for over-subscribed shows, said it was offering “great last-minute half-price deals” for Monty Python due to “World Cup cancellations”.
The final show on 20 July will be screened live in cinemas and broadcast on the Gold television channel. The show has received mixed reviews, with the Daily Express describing it as “comedy history in the making”, while The Independent said it was “desperately lazy” and The Guardian said the jokes “have dated”.
John Cleese, meanwhile, is expected to play the villain in a new comedy based on the television series Baywatch.
