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.

After a first-half goal from Will Saxby, Portsmouth pressured the Hampstead defence but the London club weathered the storm and added second-half goals through Dan Williams and Dave Dixon.
Second-placed Anchorians, a point behind, beat Dulwich 6-1 with Andrew Simmons scoring a hat-trick and Paul Barry netting twice. The former National League side Anchorians, five points ahead of Portsmouth, look likely to join Hampstead in the play-offs.
Swansea's hopes of becoming the first Welsh club in the National League took a dive when they were beaten 6-1 by Bath Buccaneers, allowing Whitchurch, 2-0 winners at home to Hereford, to take the lead in the West of England and South Wales First Division, thanks to a better goal difference.
