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.

But thankfully, two designers are taking the lead to solve one of the most infuriating problems women of colour face: shopping for underwear.
Both Nubian Skin, launched by Ade Hassan in 2014, and D.Bleu.Bedazzled, created by Destiny Blue, were born out of a frustration with not being able to find skin-toned underwear to match their complexion.
But now, the pair have joined forces to deliver a range of beautifully embellished lingerie to suit all. From deeper complexions to super-pale skin, the range offers up an inclusive selection of nude bras, bottoms and hosiery.
The designers, who have both been integral to diversifying nudes-for-all, showcased their pieces at a presentation during London Fashion Week on Tuesday 21 February.
Held at the Sanderson Hotel, models and dancers of all skin tones paraded in the crystal-laden garments which already boast a long list of A-list fans including Beyonce, Jourdan Dunn, Kate Upton and Leomie Anderson.
