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.

Nominees for the famous golden statuettes - Hollywood's most coveted prizes, handed out at the climax of the annual awards season - will be announced on January 24, said the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Nominations ballots for the Academy Awards - presented at Tinsel Town's Kodak Theatre, and preceded by a 90-minute red carpet parade - will be mailed out on December 27, and must be returned by January 13.
Oscars winners are chosen by nearly 6,000 voting members of the Academy, who will cast their ballots for 2011 movies which fulfill strict criteria concerning their US release.
After the nominations are announced - five nominees in the major categories, 10 for best picture as introduced in 2010 - final ballots will be mailed on February 1.
The traditional Nominees Luncheon will be held on February 6, and polls will close on February 21, five days before the show itself.
This year's Academy Awards were dominated by British historical movie "The King's Speech," which was crowned with prizes for best picture and best director for Tom Hooper.
