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.

We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Jamie T has announced a huge UK tour in support of his upcoming fourth album Trick.
The “Sheila” singer’s new record has been described as a “brave and eclectic rock/punk/reggae/rap/pop celebration that only Jamie T could make”.
It comes two years after his 2014 comeback, Carry on the Grudge, which followed 2009’s Kings & Queens, and sees Jamie T play all instruments alongside longterm collaborator James Dring.
“Inspired by claustrophobic London Summers, the album is a proud, punchy summing-up of all Jamie’s unique signatures - Clash-like anthems, youthful reminiscence, high-speed raps, earworm choruses and snarky humour,” the latest statement read.
Trick will be released on 2 September through Virgin EMI, with new single “Tinfoil Boy” out now:
Jamie T will play three nights at London’s Brixton Academy from 8-10 October, with tickets going on sale next Friday 22 July at 9am.
