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.

Echo Dot 5th generation: Was £54.99, now £22.99, Amazon.co.uk
This speaker is the latest generation of Amazon’s Echo Dot and, while it’s already a pocket-friendly buy, you can now snap up the clever gadget for even less. This unmissable deal has seen the fifth-generation Echo Dot plummet even lower in price, meaning it can now be yours for just £20.
“The Amazon Echo Dot is the baby in the Amazon Echo range”, our tester explained in their review, “but don’t be deceived by its diminutive, spherical and slightly squat size – this speaker Alexifies every room in your home on a budget, while still delivering decent sound and good smarts”.
As well as acting as a speaker, the Echo Dot has plenty of clever features including tap functionality, so you can snooze your alarm with ease, and a temperature sensor, enabling Alexa to take action when the room gets too hot or too cold.
