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.

Tourists are being offered exclusive use of Peter Island in the Caribbean's British Virgin Islands in what is described as an island "buy out" package.
But prices for five nights at the island's resort and spa, including all rooms and villas come at a jaw-dropping £208,099.
Those with deep pockets - and lots of friends - could invite up to 130 guests and can even ask for a no-fly zone to be imposed over the island so their stay is not affected by aircraft noise.
Reached only by boat or helicopter, the island offers sailing, fishing, golf and water-based games. Beauty treatments are also available.
Guests at the resort and spa have private pools in their villas and preferred pillows on their beds. They can specify what meals they have and which champagne is available in their room
