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 poll, which was carried out in February of this year, asked people what their favourite colours were and if they preferred pink to blue before asking which colours they would choose to paint a baby's room.
The survey demonstrated that 46 per cent would choose blue for a boy's room whilst 37 per cent would paint a girl's room pink.
Yellow and white came out as gender neutral colours, with between 13 and 20 percent of people choosing each for both sexes.

The research examined just over 1500 adults from the UK.
Those questioned were from across the country; regions included London, Scotland, Midlands, Wales, the North and Scotland.
