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.

The Copacabana crooner will perform in London's Hyde Park along with Welsh soprano Katherine Jenkins on 12 September.
The gig coincides with the traditional Last Night of the Proms show, and will culminate in a live video link-up with the Royal Albert Hall to allow promenaders to join in with old favourites like Jerusalem and Rule Britannia.
Manilow fans unable to make the Hyde Park show will be able to watch the performance on the BBC via the red button and listen to it on Radio 2.
Bob Shennan, BBC Radio 2 controller, said: "Everyone at Radio 2 is delighted that Barry Manilow will headline BBC Proms in the Park in September.
"Barry Manilow is one of the giants of world showbusiness and the fans in the park and our Radio 2 listeners are in for a treat."
