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.

Young viognier can be a little bitter, but not this example of the northern Rhône's favourite grape from Argentina's hot San Juan region with its powerfully peachy and refreshingly juicy fruit quality.
Under a tenner: 2003 Beaujolais-Villages, Domaine des Nugues, Gelin, £6.99, or buy 2 = £6.49, Majestic Wine Warehouses
A cherryish gamay of the best kind thanks to the extra oomph brought by the 2003 vintage; a juicy, pure, unoaked red that trickles down moreishly, just the ticket with lightly spicy food.
Splash out: 2003 Santa Rita Floresta Sauvignon Blanc, Leyda, Chile, £9.99, Waitrose
Exotic, explosive, rich, this is a seriously good sauvignon from San Antonio Valley, one of the emerging cool climate regions near Casablanca. An intense expression of the grape variety full of grapefruit zesty and tropical fruit characters.
