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.

"Not even the staunchest optimist had dreamed that the Danish team would have swept the field with Africa's hope and taken Denmark to the World Cup quarter-finals for the first time ever. After three matches of more or less nightmare character, the Danish national team, written off and underestimated, made the impossible possible in the wonderful world of football, and made a dream come true." "Berlingske Tidende", Copenhagen.
"The match [against Nigeria] was perhaps the best ever in Danish football history. Here was a cornucopia of talent and so many smart details that one must see the match again on video to appreciate all the nuances." "EkstraBladet", Copenhagen.
