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 pop group will follow in the footsteps of Katy Perry, Selena Gomez and Borat by hitting the MTV EMA stage as hosts for the first time.
Little Mix will also be performing a new track titled “Sweet Melody” from their brand new studio album, Confetti.
The stars nabbed four nominations this year for Best Pop, Best Group, Best UK and Ireland Act, as well as a nod in the new category, Best Virtual Live for “UNCancelled”.
Lady Gaga leads the pack with seven nominations, while Korean boy band BTS and Justin Bieber both hold five.
Elsewhere, Yorkshire-born musician Yungblud is vying with US artists DaBaby, Roddy Ricch and Doja Cat in the Best New category.
The Best Alternative category sees The 1975, Hayley Williams, FKA Twigs and Machine Gun Kelly up against one another, while Tame Impala, Liam Gallagher and The Killers are competing in Best Rock.
Due to the pandemic, the ceremony – due to take place on Sunday 8 November – will feature filmed performances instead of the usual arena-based show.
Doja Cat, Sam Smith, Maluma, Zara Larsson and Yungblud are all confirmed to perform.
The MTV EMAs show will air globally on Sunday 8 November, 2020.
