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.

The trainer Noel Chance plans to run Flagship Uberalles in the two-and-a-half-mile John Durkan Memorial Punchestown Chase at the Co Kildare course on 10 December.
Chance said: "From the start of the season we decided to step him up a little bit in trip, basically we want to find out if he will get the trip in the King George [at Kempton on Boxing Day]. We did not want to be guessing whether he would get the three miles in the King George, but if he gets the two and a half miles comprehensively well we would consider running him at Kempton."
"If he did not get two and a half he certainly wouldn't get three, and that Punchestown race is the only race for him really other than handicaps - and I did not want to go down that road. The horse is in good form, he has worked with Looks Like Trouble and has had a racecourse gallop. I am happy with him and obviously we will start increasing the tempo with him and hopefully everything will go according to plan."
