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 Daily Mirror have reported that the French giants are willing to pay Real Madrid star Ronaldo, 30, a deal worth a staggering £250,000-a-week after tax. This would be the equivalent of £500,000 per week by Premier League standards, ruling Manchester United out of the race.
United manager Louis van Gaal confirmed at the weekend that the club were interested in re-signing Ronaldo, who left United to join Real for a then-world record £80m in 2009.
"We are looking at all players, not just Ronaldo. But these players are mostly ungettable," said Van Gaal after United's 2-0 win over Watford. "With Ronaldo, let's wait and hope."
Swedish forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic earns a reported £220,000-a-week after tax at PSG and the Ligue 1 side are prepared to go even higher to get Ronaldo.
