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.

Update: Drake cancels due to illness
Among the eclectic acts heading to Finsbury Park and Perry Park are "Rather Be" singer Jess Glynne, renowned party-starters Basement Jaxx and Jamaican rapper Sean Paul.
OutKast’s reunion has been the talk of the summer with "Hey Ya" set to spark the biggest sing-along of the festival, while Pharrell Williams will be showcasing his song-writing prowess on the main stage.
Dance collective Rudimental will be hoping that lightning steers well clear of their set after a storm cut their Glastonbury slot short last Friday night.
Those not put off by Robin Thicke's nausea-inducing efforts to win back his estranged wife can catch the "Blurred Lines" singer before Ellie Goulding brings out her drum, while Naughty Boy is sure to draw a crowd after the huge success of "La La La".
Other bands on the line-up include John Newman, Labrinth, Neon Jungle, Ella Eyre, Clean Bandit, Chance the Rapper, Foxes and Kid Ink.
Music will start at 1.30pm each day across three stages and finish by 10.25pm at the latest.
The billing is designed so that everyone can watch the main acts, without competition from clashes elsewhere in the park.
