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.

All Points East will take place in May 2018, opening with a three-day festival headlined by The xx, and with three standalone concerts on consecutive nights.
Also confirmed to perform so far are The National, War On Drugs, Future Islands, and Warpaint.
Organisers AEG and Goldenvoice beat competition from Field Day and Lovebox to win the exclusive contract to host events in Victoria Park.
Field Day recently announced that it would no longer host the event in east London, while Lovebox has yet to announce a 2018 festival.
AEG currently looks after the British Summer Time series of outdoor shows in Hyde Park, while Goldenvoice manages US festivals Coachella, FYF Fest, and Panorama.
Tickets to All Points East will go on sale on Friday 27 October.
