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.

John Gosden's filly was one of last term's leading juveniles and was set to return at Epsom earlier this month. She also held engagements in both the Pretty Polly Stakes and the Prix de Malleret at Saint-Cloud this weekend, but will wait for the 12-furlong Group Two. Ben Sangster, a member of the Sangster family who own Playful Act, said: "She was a bit slow to come to hand and York came a bit soon for her, but we will have a week more to get her ready.
"She is in the Irish and Yorkshire Oaks and although she is by Sadler's Wells, she has plenty of form on fast ground."
