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.

Halifax have completed the signing of the Western Samoan rugby union international full-back, Michael Umaga. The 28-year-old, who was spotted by the Thrum Hall club in the World Cup, has signed a three-season contract which is understood to be worth around pounds 80,000. Since Steve Hampson, the former Wigan and Great Britain player, broke his arm at Featherstone last October, they have used seven different players in the No 1 jersey.
Dean Busby's fee for his move from Hull to St Helens last week, will be decided by a tribunal. St Helens have offered pounds 80,000 for the 21-year- old loose-forward, but Hull value the England international at pounds 195,000.
Warrington have re-signed skipper Greg Mackey, utility player Andy Bennett and hooker John Thursfield on 18-month contracts until the end of the first Super League season.
