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.

Leeds, who have denied making a cash-plus-players offer to the Bradford Bulls for Paul Newlove, have put their international forward, Richie Eyres, on the transfer list, writes Dave Hadfield.
Eyres, who played for Wales in the World Cup, has been made available at pounds 95,000, because of what the club described as "personal reasons".
But Leeds have emphatically denied offering three players in their side to play Bradford on Sunday - Harvey Howard, Francis Cummins and Graham Holroyd - to the Bulls in part-exchange for Newlove.
The Leeds hooker, Mick Shaw, has agreed a new three-year contract. The 20-year-old has played in nine of Leeds' 13 first-team matches this season.
The Wigan loose forward, Andy Farrell, is to put off a hernia operation to play in the Regal Trophy tie at Huddersfield on Sunday. He will only have the operation if he suffers a reaction.
St Helens will be without Vila Matautia and Andy Northey at Hull. The players, sent off for high tackles at Bradford last week, were suspended for three matches and one match respectively.
