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.

Tate, who had just resumed riding after breaking a collarbone in a five-horse pile-up at Redcar, was taken to Brighton General Hospital with injuries to his left shoulder.
His mount Red Valerian was brought down and Tate narrowly escaped serious injury from the hooves of other horses. The jockey was found to have aggravated last month's injuries but was not detained in hospital.
The stewards held an inquiry and suspended Rouse for six days, from 30 September, for irresponsible riding on The Little Ferret. Rouse was found guilty of causing interference to Dancing Lawyer who, in turn, interfered with Red Valerian.
At Redcar a month ago, 22- year-old Tate was brought down on Magenta Boy in a first-furlong pile-up. He broke a collar-bone and Lindsay Charnock was banned for irresponsible riding. On Saturday, Tate returned to win the Ayr Gold Cup.
