Your support helps us to tell the story
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.

Other performers include The XX, Stormzy, and Solange, while the Sunday “legend” slot has been filled by Bee Gees’ singer Barry Gibb who played last year with headliner Coldplay.
Gibb isn’t the only legend playing Glastonbury: Chic (previously confirmed by Nile Rodgers himself), The Jacksons and country star Kris Kristofferson will also be performing.
With an album due within the next few months, Lorde has also been confirmed for Worthy Farm, having previously teased an appearance. Other female artists joining the 'Royals' singer and Perry will be Laura Marling, Haim, Emeli Sandé, Warpaint, First Aid Kit, and Kate Tempest.
Grime artists are slightly more prominent than last year, Stormzy, Boy Better Know, Kano, Dizzee Rascal, and Wiley leading the way.
Other exciting additions include Anderson .Paak, Phoenix, Run the Jewels, Sampha, Father John Misty, and Justice.
