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.

Yorkshire face a battle to avoid defeat after Derbyshire continued to control the Second Division match at Headingley yesterday.
The visitors never let slip the advantage gained in the first session when they clinically wrapped up the Yorkshire innings, and then batted quickly to reach 214 for 4 before setting an improbable 407 for victory.
Matthew Wood and Michael Vaughan negotiated an awkward nine-over spell to reach 12 without loss by the close.
A stoppage of 74 minutes for rain hardly helped Derbyshire's cause, but they remain favourites to claim what would be only their ninth win in a century of visits to Yorkshire.
