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.

A small, community-driven coffee shop on its high street, about the only one, is set to feature in one of the biggest blockbusters of 2017 however, thanks to a pretty famous patron.
Zack Snyder has been filming Justice League at the nearby Warner Bros Studios in Leavesden, and popping in for coffee at Fred and Ginger.
A source told The Independent that he’s become so enamoured of the cafe that, instead of using a Starbucks or other chain in the superhero movie, he’s having a replica of it built.
It’s not yet known whether it will be used for interior or exterior shots, or if the scene will take place in England, though I dearly hope Batman and Superman duke it out it King’s Langley, punching holes in post offices and upsetting cricket matches.
For the ardent DC fans reading this consider that your major spoiler: Justice League involves someone drinking a coffee.
The film only just started principal photography and won't open in theatres until November 2017.
