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.

"I didn't set out to break, to set a world record, it was never my ambition, it's just that I had so much done," she said in a portrait by ABC News, released this week.
"So much" translates into 14 full-scale operations as well as pulls, peels and jabs, several Botox injections, five face-lifts and liposuction.
Still, Jackson insists that she looks natural: "I wouldn't ever want anyone to stop and stare at me and say 'that woman's had a lot of surgery.' I would never want to look like I'd had anything done," she said.
As with most plastic surgery 'addicts,' Jackson's drastic transformation seems to be due to lacking self-esteem. "One guy, when I was 14, said, you know, Cindy, when you smile, from the side, your nose and chin almost meet," she told ABC, "It was like being in the wrong body and face...," adding that she was much happier with her looks today: "I feel like a young spirit and I don't want to look in the mirror and see and old face. I feel this is me, this is the way I should look."
Jackson works as a plastic surgery consultant - visit her website at http://www.cindyjackson.com - and has written two books: " Living Doll" and " Image and Cosmetic Surgery Secrets."
