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.

A 2-2 draw with Paris Saint-Germain at Stamford Bridge saw Jose Mourinho's team tumble out of Europe without defeat - and only one other club in the 2014-15 season held that honour.
European giants Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid and Juventus have all suffered at least one loss this season, as have PSG.
But Mourinho's team went through the group stages with four wins and two draws and drew both legs of the last-16.
Only Portuguese champions Porto have managed that feat; they too won four games and drew twice but were able to progress after beating Basel in both legs.
Real Madrid won all six of their group games but only managed to sneak into the quarter-finals after barely holding on against Schalke, losing 4-3 at the Bernabeu on Tuesday night.
