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.

Your support makes all the difference.Does the typical white wedding seem a little dull to you? Well, if you’re a bride who dreams of hosting something a little different then one London hotel has got you covered.
As more and more millennials break with tradition to redefine what a wedding should look like, Andaz London Liverpool Street are catering for the ever-growing hipster crowd that’s infiltrating East London.
Based in an area that's brimming with creative inspiration, Andaz is offering hand-crafted ‘graffiti’ invitations created by local street artists, wedding breakfasts supplied by local street food vendors and, wait for it, complimentary ‘his’ and ‘hers' tattoos from an East End tattooist.
As if getting married wasn’t a big enough commitment, according to Pinterest’s 2017 Wedding Report, tattoos to mark the special occasion are up by 116 per cent and, it seems, the perfect way to get Shore-hitched.
It doesn’t stop there though. Post wedding, the team will also organise for the bride’s wedding dress to be transformed into a new outfit by a local designer and, depending on how E1 you want your wedding to be, can even hook you up with local make-up artists, photographers and entertainers. The ceremony will take place in the hotel’s Masonic Temple, which is concealed by heavy, studded doors and the City’s only original Freemason’s meeting lodge.
Fancy giving a non-traditional, super-hipster wedding a go? The hotel is offering one lucky couple the chance to say ‘I do’ for free by giving away an all-expenses-paid wedding at their wedding fair on 9 September.
