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 band, fronted by Florence Welch, will appear as part of Neil Young's Bridge School Benefit Concert.
Other acts set to perform at the event at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in the Bay Area of California on 25 and 26 October include Pearl Jam, Tom Jones and Soundgarden.
Band of Horses, Norah Jones’ alt-country trio Puss n Boots, and Pegi Young will also appear.
Welch confirmed that she is working on new material for the third Florence and the Machine album earlier this year.
Bridge School Benefit originated in 1986. All proceeds from the concert will go directly towards the operation of the Bridge School, a not-for-profit organisation that aims to improve the standard of living for those with severe physical or speech impairments in their communities.
Tickets for the event will go on sale 19 September.
