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.

Iva Majoli, the Croatian teenager, won her second tour title in eight days when she beat Argentina's Gabriela Sabatini in the final of the Filderstadt women's indoor tournament in Germany yesterday.
The 18-year-old, who upset the Australian Open champion, Mary Pierce, to win the European indoor tournament in Zurich last week, defeated third seed Sabatini 6-4, 7-6, taking the tie-break 7-4. Unfortunately Majoli has pulled out of the Brighton tournament, which begins tomorrow.
Clare Wood, the 27-year-old British player and the only home player in the 28-strong field, has been drawn to play Karina Habsudova of Slovakia in the first round.
Wood is currently ranked 224 in the world and only made the main draw by virtue of a wild card. Steffi Graf, six-times winner of the tournament, and Jana Novotna, winner for the past two years, are the top seeds and both have first-round byes.
