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.

The Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) has begun advertising on the website as part of its campaign to recruit operational officers.
The Facebook adverts were launched a few weeks ago in a bid to reach a large and wide variety of people, a Foreign Office spokeswoman said.
"The Secret Intelligence Service's open recruitment campaign continues to target wide pools of talent representative of British society today," she added.
"A number of channels are used to promote job opportunities in the organisation. Facebook is a recent example."
MI6 began recruiting openly in April 2006, using mainly radio and newspaper advertising campaigns.
It also recruits through its website, where candidates can fill out application forms online.
