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.

Others can flog tickets for $200 (£152) and $500 (£380).

According to Fandango, the Marvel sequel has achieved more first-day pre-sales through the company than any other film, beating the previous chart-topper Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
In fact, the rush of fans attempting to buy tickets caused the website to crash, with fans claiming they had to wait more than an hour to buy tickets.
Many other ticketing systems in the US faced similar problems, including AMC Theatres, Regal Cinemas, and Atom Tickets.
The former has announced it will show all 22 films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as part of one giant marathon.
