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.

Earlier Ipswich, with goals from Simon Miller and Richard Fox, had beaten Nottingham 2-0, to claim a home venue for their final match against Isca, fighting to retain their National League status.
In their opening game, Purley conceded two goals in the closing minutes to lose 3-2 to Sheffield. Yesterday they were much more disciplined against Isca, taking the lead in the 11th minute. Byfield got the faintest of touches to a free hit taken just outside the circle.
Purley had to do some desperate defending in the second half before, with five minutes remaining, Byfield pounced on a loose ball at a penalty corner to drive it in for his second.
In the women's competition, Reading are through to next weekend's crossovers but must await the result of today's games to know their opponents. Dereham, who on Saturday eased to a 4-2 victory over North Staffordshire, were off the pace yesterday going down 1-0 to Liverpool. Hampton-in-Arden, fighting to retain their National League status, were held to a goalless draw by Bournemouth.
