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.

Andrew Nicol, 38, had been staying in the resort of Puerto de Santiago on the Spanish holiday island of Tenerife.
He died yesterday, just a day after six-year-old Megan Thrower from King's Lynn in Norfolk drowned in a hotel pool in Gran Canaria.
A Foreign Office spokeswoman said: "We are aware of the death of a British national on October 18 in Tenerife.
"We are providing consular assistance to the family."
Mr Nicol was reportedly staying in a three-star apartment hotel with his family in the quiet resort on the west of the island.
Megan was with her family at the four-star Hotel Gran Canaria Princess on the neighbouring Canary Island.
A waiter pulled her from the pool and emergency services were called but were unable to save her, Spanish press reported.
