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.

Harleston Magpies, currently nine points clear at the top of the Printwize East Premier, are another club with clear designs on reaching the play-offs after their 4-2 win at the weekend against Ipswich and East Suffolk. But in the South, Maidenhead, last year's champions, are one place off the bottom.
City of Portsmouth, who scraped home 3-2 winners against bottom club Old Cranleighans, currently lead the South Premier by three points from Purley Walcountians. Purley, with Nick Hayes scoring twice beat Fareham 4-1, and are five points ahead of Richmond for whom Graham Berry scored all four goals in their 4-2 win over Maidenhead.
