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 show is a resurgent phenomenon and the most watched digital programme of 2017 so far for 16-34-year-olds, but legions of fans struggled to watch Wednesday night's typically dramatic episode on demand via ITV Hub (ITV's version of BBC iPlayer.
Many were met with the error message: "We're sorry, something went wrong. Please try again," leaving them battling to avoid spoilers.
"Whoevers jobs to put love island on itv hub can u sort urself out because I surround my life around this & I'm being attacked with spoilers," one fan wrote (sic).
"Oh my gosh im seeing love island spoilers everywhere and my itv hub isn't working," another added (also sic).
At the time of writing this morning, the episode appears to be working, returning a much-needed dose of superficial drama to our lives.
Love Island continues nightly at 9pm on ITV2.
