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.

The Canaries host Fulham and Manchester United before travelling to Crystal Palace on 1 January in a busy spell. “It’s tradition, but we’re at the stage where we are able to pull one of the games out,” he said.
"The Boxing Day match is tradition and is something we're all very much used to.
"Now we're entering a period where we play on Boxing Day, on the Saturday and then New Year's Day.
"We could pull the Saturday game out and that would leave us with the games on Boxing Day and New Year's Day, which everyone looks forward to
"I don't see a winter break happening at this particular moment, although it's something people are speaking about a lot."
