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.

Radio 1’s Big Weekend 2022 has released additional tickets just hours after Harry Styles was announced as the Sunday headliner.
Fresh from a Coachella appearance where the flamboyant pop star made an entrance in a chest-baring sequin Gucci jumpsuit, the former One Direction chart-topper is expected to pull out all the stops for his headline performance on 29 May.
Following a two-year COVID-related hiatus, the line-up for the Big Weekend from 27 - 29 May is better than ever with Calvin Harris announced as the Saturday night headliner and other artists on the stage including Ed Sheeran, Aitch, AJ Tracey, Anne Marie, George Ezra, Becky Hill and Yungblud.
More than 70,000 tickets are available for the three-day event taking place in Coventry’s War Memorial Park. Some were sold during the first round of ticket sales, but Radio 1 has announced that there will be another chance to get tickets following the Harry Styles revelation.
