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.

Oldham are to be asked by the Rugby Football League's board of directors to explain why they made 10 changes for Sunday's match at Warrington, which they lost 40-8. Andy Goodway, the Oldham coach and an assistant to England's Phil Larder, put out a vastly different side to the one beaten 44-18 by St Helens days earlier. The RFL chief executive, Maurice Lindsay, said: "We will be asking Oldham to furnish an explanation for consideration by the board."
The Australian Test forward David Fairleigh looks certain to miss the Halifax Centenary World Cup in October. He faces knee surgery.
