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.

Scheduled to run from September 22 to January 24, 2011, the show will be the biggest dedicated to the Impressionist master since 1980, gathering 200 works from both French and foreign museums.
With at least half a million visitors expected, Internet bookings open from Monday, April 19 on www.monet2010.com.
The show, a major event on this year's Paris arts calendar, will trace the 19th century painter's long career, from his first landscapes in Normandy and in the Paris region in the 1870s through to his iconic depictions of his garden in Giverny at the end of the century.
A major Picasso show at the Grand Palais in 2008 pulled in 784,000 visitors.
