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 1933 Delage D8S De Villars Roadster was named the top car out of the 250 collector cars from 14 countries that were showcased on the Pebble Beach Golf Course this past weekend.
As well as being used to transport guests of the Gran Hotel Velasquez in Madrid, Spain, the 1933 Delage also made an appearance at the 1933 Salon de Paris at the Grand Palais.
It is now part of the Kentucky-based the Patterson Collection, which is owned by restaurateur Jim Patterson.
"This Delage has a short wheelbase that makes it look more rakish, but it still has a long and elegant look," said Concours Chairman Sandra Button.
"It did 110 miles-per-hour in its day; it could race and was stunningly beautiful. This car could do it all; it embodied style, speed and comfort."
The other nominees were another Delage, the 1939 Delage D8 120 Henri Chapron Cabriolet, a 1930 Duesenberg J Graber Cabriolet and 1929 Bentley Speed Six Park Ward Open Two Seater.
