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.

In 2021, Parklife co-founder Sacha Lord told the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport of how at risk the live sector was from the effects of lockdown.
“If we have another year like 2020, we’ve got serious problems,” he said at the time.
Last week, The Independent spoke with a number of festival organisers, artists and industry experts about the toll the pandemic has had on the live music industry over the past two years.
“For the vast majority of musicians, the live circuit is their lifeblood,” James Ainscough, chief executive of Help Musicians, said. “Whether that performance is at a function or a festival, a grassroots venue or a world-famous stage, live performance is the fragile gig economy that all musicians rely on.”
He added: “That’s what music-lovers want and need – those joyful moments in time where music unites us and transports us to a different world, leaving us with musical memories that last a lifetime.”
Parklife festival 2022 takes place from 11-12 June at Heaton Park in Manchester.
