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.

The Atlantis, Paradise Island resort is to offer five-day programs for children themed around LEGO Atlantis, the toymaker's hit underwater series.
The program includes four full days of activities, including scavenger hunts, go-kart racing and swimming with dolphins.
A Lego Master Builder will be on hand to teach youngsters tips and tricks when building their toys in the Lego construction zone, a room complete with thousands of Lego bricks of all sizes and colors and a wall covered in Lego base plate that children can build directly onto.
Other highlights include ice cream socials and a pizza and "coketail" party for children.
The summer day camp is to be held at Atlantis's futuristic Atlantis Kids Adventures, an 8,000 square foot (743 square meter) high-tech facility at the hotel. The area, available to families staying at the hotel, features touch-screen walls and floors, digital "finger-painting" tables and a hands-on cooking class.
The camp sessions will take place from July 12-16, July 19-23, and July 26-30, with a cost per session of $425 per child (€315) excluding accommodation. The camp is aimed at children aged 6-12.
Summer camps are a popular vacation activity in the United States, although less so in other parts of the world. The American Camp Association estimates that over 10 million US children visit a camp every year to "connect with nature, to participate in human-powered activities, and to benefit from personal and primary relationships."
