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 close-quarters footage shows the sharks circling the huge carcass before taking chunks out of it. Watch the footage below to witness nature at its scariest.
If you enjoyed this incredible video of nature at work, then you’ll be glad to hear that Discovery Channel’s annual Shark Week kicked off on Sunday night.
Dubbed the “Super Bowl of the Ocean”, 2015 is the 28th incarnation of the week-long extravaganza.
Take a look below at one of our favourite videos in Shark Week history - although we can understand if North Carolina’s surfing community choose not to after several shark attacks in the past month.
