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.

The promoter Frank Warren has increased security at York Hall, Bethnal Green for tonight's challenge by London's Paul Ryan for the British and Commonwealth light-welterweight championships of Bristol's Ross Hale.
The move follows a board inquiry into the riot in Glasgow in October and their recommendation that uniformed police should be present whenever it is considered necessary.
Hale is renowned for his ferocious starts. Ryan is best known for his strength, but has been working hard on his speed and co-ordination too.
Although Ryan is unbeaten and has nine stoppages to his credit, Hale is confident he can remain No1 in the World Organisation rankings ahead of Ryan, the No 2: "I can't see this one going the distance," he said. "There is a lot at stake for both of us, and it's going to be explosive. It's been frustrating waiting for a world title chance. Three times it's fallen through. I've just got to keep on winning and my chance will come."
