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 'I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!' winner - who presented on the 'X Factor' final last year - cringes when she watches herself because she can't control her facial expressions and hasn't got the "most appealing voice".
She explained: "I hate seeing myself on TV - I haven't got the most appealing voice and I don't have loads of control over my face."
Despite not liking her appearance on TV, the Dagenham-born beauty admitted she would love to become a regular presenter on 'Xtra Factor' because she can relate to contestants after coming third on the ITV1 show in 2009.
She said: "Presenting the 'Xtra Factor' would be really fun. I know what the contestants are going through, so I could relate to everyone on it. 'X Factor' is the hard bit - and 'Xtra Factor' is just a laugh."
Stacey also revealed her former 'X Factor' mentor Danni Minogue has stayed in touch with her and even congratulated her on being crowned queen of the jungle at the end of last year.
She added to Star magazine: "She is so supportive. When I came out of the jungle, she was so happy and texted me to say: 'Well done'. My sister threw me a party for close friends and family, and Danni recorded a video message. I nearly cried. She is one of the nicest women in the world."
