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.

Clean, zesty and fresh, this dry white displays refreshing zip and full-bodied, peachy fruit by combining the world's two most popular white varieties and adding a zesty squeeze of grapefruity acidity.
Under a tenner: 1998 Peter Lehmann Reserve Semillon, Barossa Valley, around £9.99, Harvey Nichols, Vin du Van, Kent (01233 758727), Noel Young, Cambridge (01223 844744)
A mature Barossa Valley semillon from one of the masters - a whiff of lemongrass, flavours of lemon meringue pie with essence of vanilla.
Splash out: 2002 Mitolo Jester McLaren Vale Shiraz, £9.95-11.95, Andrew Chapman, Abingdon (01235 550707), Philglas & Swiggot, London SW11 (020-7924 4494), Villeneuve, Scotland (01721 722500)
This screwcapped new red is aromatic, spicy and peppery, delivering a wine of approachable blackberry richness.
