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.

Since quitting his day job in 2007, Mr Chicken (as we assume he'd like to be known) has built a dedicated following of slavish, and slavering fans with pop-up Creole cook-outs at the coolest clubs in the US and Europe and his underground internet cookery show (www.dantefriedchicken.com).
Saturday Morning Kitchen this ain't – each episode features the man himself whipping up treats such as coconut macaroni cheese, crab cakes and, of course, lots of finger-lickin' good chicken in the company of his hip friends from the music world. Santogold, MIA and TV on the Radio are a few of his culinary collaborators so far.
According to DFC, food and music are basic ways to "transcend cultural boundaries". The perfect recipe for peace? As long as there's no fighting over that last chicken nugget.
