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.

Every detail is in there from the classic frame peephole to the French posters. Hell, there's even a tiny, slightly creepy picture of Ross and Ben resting on a sideboard.
"I use tweezers, a precision knife, paper, glue and paint to make all my models," Bruna Conforto, who made the 50cm x 40cm replica told BuzzFeed.
"Now I can make a model in two weeks, but Monica’s apartment took almost two years to be done.
"I was working and studying at the time, so I had only one day a week to do, and this was the first model that I did, so I had to try different techniques to get what I wanted."
Last week, someone on YouTube sequenced every episode of Friends simultaneously, resulting in some mad, Dadaist nightmare.
N.B - Her Diagon Alley from Harry Potter is even better:
