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 stunning singer has gained seven pounds over the past two months but rather than worrying about it, Cheryl says she feels better than ever.
She said: "When I'm really thin is normally when I am working nonstop. I don't put any emphasis on thinking, 'Oh, I'm thin at the moment.' Right now I've got my curves back because I've had time off, I'm at home cooking, I'm more relaxed. I'm not defined by being seven pounds heavier than I was two months ago - I think it is really unhealthy to go there.
"The curves are back, well and truly. I've got my boobs and bum back and, yeah, I like it. I think it's sexy."
Cheryl - who is now a UK size eight - says she is now comfortable in her own skin and doesn't care what other people think about her.
She told the new issue of Britain's Grazia magazine: "All of us girls can get so confused. I think women look best when they are happy. The greatest, sexiest thing is just being comfortable with you. The real beauty of a woman is about just being confident and comfortable in you - whatever you put on."
