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.

Denise Lewis, Britain's Commonwealth Games heptathlon champion, is to undergo knee surgery in a bid to ensure an injury-free build-up to next year's Olympics in Atlanta. Lewis has been troubled by scar tissue on her right knee.
Great Britain will stage their 1996 Grand Prix at Crystal Palace on 12 July. The circuit has been extended by two meetings to 18, with Tokyo, Atlanta, Eugene and Moscow added and New York and San Jose dropping out. Sponsors have increased the prize fund by 20 per cent to around pounds 120,000 for the four-date Ricoh tour, in which six new disciplines - 200m, 1,000m, 60m hurdles and high jump for men, and 1,000m and triple jump for women - have been added.
