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.

John Regis, the British 200 metres record holder who pulled a hamstring running in Stockholm on Monday evening, has not completely written off his chances of appearing in the World Indoor Championships in Barcelona in a fortnight.
Regis had physiotherapy yesterday and was named in Britain's team for the championships from 10-12 March. The chief coach, Malcolm Arnold, said: "John can take his time before making a decision next week."
Referring to the injury, he said: "It went coming off the first bend and he thought he was OK. Coming off the second we saw he wasn't.
"It depends how badly the hamstring has gone. It looked a bit more than a nick to me, but you have to trust their integrity. Knowing John as I do, there is no way he will be competing if he is going to risk himself."
Allyn Condon stands by to take over from the unlucky Regis, who was ruled out of his defence of the European title in Helsinki last summer by an Achilles injury.
Condon, a former world junior sprint relay gold medallist, would partner Solomon Wariso, back in a championship team after serving a three-month drugs ban.
Linford Christie, who changed his mind about going for the only major title to elude him, heads the 34-strong squad in the 60m.
