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.

Laszlo Nemeth, the England coach, is preparing his team for Sunday's European Championship game against Germany in Sheffield and then a trip to Portugal with a series of friendlies, writes Duncan Hooper.
England play the Netherlands tomorrow and either Lithuania or Finland on Wednesday. They then travel to Antwerp to play Belgium on Thursday as Nemeth tries to harden his players to face Germany, the European champions in 1993.
Trevor Gordon, recalled to the team after missing last month's defeats by Latvia and Estonia while in dispute with Manchester Giants, scored 27 points for his new club Birmingham Bullets in their 127-98 win at Newcastle Comets. Gordon is an essential addition, as Nemeth's impasse with Martin Henlan continues to rob England of the 6ft 10in centre and Spencer Dunkley remains injured.
