Your support helps us to tell the story
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 Irish dancing phenomenon, which has been a huge hit around the world, will visit 16 venues next year.
It launched a "farewell" tour of the UK in 2009 but will return in September of next year.
The fancy footwork first captured the public's imagination when it was showcased at the Eurovision Song Contest staged in Dublin in 1994.
Producer Moya Doherty said: "The success of Riverdance across the whole world has gone beyond our wildest dreams.
"The fact that the show continues to draw and excite audiences is a tribute to every dancer, singer, musician, staff and crew member who have dedicated themselves to the show.
"This 20th anniversary tour is a thank you to our UK audiences and a celebration of what has been an incredible journey across two decades."
The tour begins at Southend Cliffs Pavilion on September 2, and goes on to visit Ipswich, Bournemouth, Birmingham, Cardiff, Bristol, Manchester, Bradford, Blackpool, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Sunderland, Nottingham, Oxford, Southampton, and finishes at London's Hammersmith Apollo.
Riverdance has been seen by more than 2.9 million people in the UK.
