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.

No, it is not a Status Quo tribute act - here are Cesc Fabregas, Gerard Pique, Neymar, Dani Alves and Andres Iniesta of Barcelona celebrating the club's partnership with Replay denim.
But Argentine maestro Lionel Messi, who channelled his inner Ron Burgundy with his garish red suit at the Ballon d'Or awards, is nowhere to be found.
The denim brand have revealed that they have joined up with the Spanish champions as an official sponsor for the next four years, and claim they have created both "formal outfits as well a smart casual line" for sale and for the players and staff at the Nou Camp to wear.
Below is the all-denim suit which the players will be sporting when they travel over to Manchester next month for the first of their two Champions League Last 16 ties against Manchester City. They will hope their defence stays at sturdy as their apparel, against a team which have averaged four goals a game at home this season.
