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 picture appeared on Twitter by @rm_bgrd with the message: "The Madrid shops already have the shirt in the window".
Rodriguez was last night spotted boarding a plane to Madrid from Medellin, Colombia, and then pictured landing in Madrid by a Spanish journalist.
The World Cup star allegedly refused to play in a pre-season friendly for Monaco against Junior Barranquillo on Sunday night, for fear of an injury ruining his dream move to Los Blancos.
He has been pictured at Adolfo Suarez Madrid–Barajas Airport by a Spanish journalist, Juan Gato.
French newspaper L'Equipe said on Saturday night that Monaco would accept a €90m offer from Los Blancos for the 22-year-old who took the World Cup by storm.
They reported that a deal could be completed by Monday, while Spanish paper AS last week said Rodriguez and the defending European champions had already verbally agreed terms.
Rodriguez, who took the World Cup by storm with six goals and two assists as Colombia reached the quarter-final, was shortlisted for the World Cup Golden Ball and has also been nominated for Uefa's Best Player in Europe.
Rodriguez cost Monaco €45m (£36m) last summer and went on to score 10 goals and provide 12 assists in all competitions as Monaco finished second in Ligue 1.
