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.

Fresh from her coronation as Queen of Comedy at Friday's British Comedy Awards, Ms Millican has broken a 10-year sales record held by French and Saunders with her Chatterbox Live DVD. So far it has sold 161,400 copies, already about 10,000 more than French & Saunders Live. The next most popular, Victoria Wood: Live at the Albert Hall released in 2002, sold about 48,300 copies.
Ms Millican started in comedy in 2004 signing up to a performance workshop following her divorce.
Since being named Best Newcomer at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2008, she has appeared regularly on television shows including Have I Got News for You and Mock the Week. She is currently on her second national tour this year.
