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.

Flowers East, London E8
This year the Flowers Gallery's annual subject show has landed on that most British aspect of British art - the landscape. It is a strong tradition on these shores: our grand contribution to European art from Turner and Constable through to the present day, though in recent times landscape art has slipped a little way off the contemporary pace.
However, there's a strong tradition of artists who make work in and of the landscape, not always by conventional means, but which is nonetheless filled with a sense of place. Although in the Flowers show there's nothing by Richard Long or Roger Ackling and a photograph by Andy Goldsworthy is the only real nod in this direction, there are some very good things - including a punchy little painting by Frank Auerbach, as vigorous and concentrated as ever; a strange, but haunting nocturne by Tom Phillips painted in mud on paper; and a fine, inkily intense landscape by John Virtue.
Flowers East, 199-205 Richmond Road, London E8 (0181-985 3333) to 19 Sep
