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 expansive world of Westeros, created by George RR Martin, has been fleshed out by showrunners David Benioff and DB Weiss ever since the first episode aired on HBO back in 2011.
Every season that followed introduced a brand new family and set of characters attempting to make a play for the Iron Throne.
Now Jon Snow (Kit Harington) has discovered his true Targaryen heritage, an extensive family tree is more in need than ever – and we have you sorted.
Below is a list of all the families, marriages and children – as well as some illicit romances – you should have on your radar ahead of the final run of episodes.
The final season of Game of Thrones continues every Sunday.
