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.

TV: BBC 1
Kick-off: 3pm
Stadium: Wembley
It will be the competition's 45th final, but the first to be staged at the national stadium and with a record crowd of around 30,000 anticipated.
Chelsea's Katie Chapman said: "It shows just how much the women’s game has grown since I started playing.
"The interest is building and building, and after the boost of [England] winning bronze at the World Cup, playing the FA Cup final at Wembley is another great chance to showcase the game.
"Hopefully the final will carry on being played at Wembley – the biggest game in the women’s calendar deserves to be there."
The Football Association director Kelly Simmons agrees with Chapman and confirmed: "We are already committed to Wembley for next year, and hopefully after that it will remain the venue for the final."
