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.

Geoffery Sardin also told games industry site MCV that he expects the series to pass 30 million sales by the end of the year.
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood was released on November 19 in Europe for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles, and was the first in the series to feature an online multi-player mode in addition to a single-player story.
Each Assassin's Creed game takes place within a real historical setting, the 2007 debut during the 12th century's Third Crusade, and both the 2009 and 2010 follow-ups in Renaissance Italy.
They concern a struggle for power between the Knights Templar and Assassins, with each group seeking powerful artifacts. In each, players take on the identity of Assassins, clambering up walls and leaping from rooftop to rooftop in pursuit of their marks.
Other titles, such as inFamous, Prototype, Crackdown, The Saboteur and Just Cause 2 use similar go-anywhere mechanics, albeit against very different backdrops.
