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.

Chanel the golden retriever is expected to give birth to puppies any day now, and to commemorate the occasion owner Kennedy Sorensen organised a shoot for her and her puppy-daddy, LeeRoy.
We’re used to seeing smug couples rub our noses in it with cheesy engagement photos or gender reveals but this couples shoot is a canine delight that just keeps on giving; so much so that it’s become a global viral sensation.
The finished images show Chanel and LeeRoy posing together with a sign that reads “9 Days Until Puppies” to document her pregnancy journey.
After posting the images on her Twitter account, owner Sorensen found that the photos had received an incredible 22,000 retweets and 37,000 likes.
LeeRoy’s owner writes on her Facebook page: “I never intended these fun photos to make such fuss in our world, they were taken for pure fun. Kennedy Sorensen and I have definately experienced something new and surreal.
“We have had a great time with the experience but at the end of the day we are just simple people that own the two cutest dogs in the world!!! (And we are waiting for the Ellen show to invite us to visit!!)”
