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.

Urban explorer and photographer Andrew Marland has captured the haunting beauty of Britain's abandoned buildings, gaining access to a disused fire station on Manchester's London Road, which has remained untouched for 40 years, to document the slow decay of the building's training rooms, dormitories, and club rooms.
The artist also explored the hallways of London's old St. Clement's hospital, which is set to be converted into flats next year; as well as the Asylum church in Peckham and the Crossness Pumping Station, which is currently undergoing restoration.
All the photos were shot on a Samsung Galaxy S7, as part of O2's launch for the handset and as a demonstration of its low-light capabilities, thanks to its brighter lens and larger pixel image sensor. O2 is set to exhibit the work in their new concept stores opening on Manchester's Market Street and London's Westfield White City shopping centre.
