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.

Manchester United are now 6-4 favourites to win the FA Cup and are quoted at 4-1 for the treble - the shortest price ever for that feat. Aston Villa, who travel to Bolton, the conquerors of Arsenal, are 5-1 second favourites for the Cup.
Barnsley, of the First Division, advanced to the final 16 with Brendan O'Connell's goal in the 65th minute enough to clinch their 1-0 home victory over Plymouth Argyle.
In the evening's only non-replay meeting, Wayne Allison scored a second-half hat-trick in Bristol City's 4-0 win at Stockport County. Mark Shail also had a first-half goal for the First Division side, who earlier in the competition had accounted for Liverpool.
