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.

The Ghost Extended Wheelbase is designed for users who require even more room from the luxury marque's massive Ghost sedan and is expected to be popular with the ever-increasing number of wealthy buyers in China.
The addition of 170mm to the car's wheelbase has significantly enhanced the legroom, says Rolls-Royce, making it ideal for those looking to use it as a chauffeur vehicle.
Produced to order and with a limited number available until it enters full production next year, the Ghost Extended Wheelbase will be priced from 5.118 million yuan (around €550,000) in China, currently Rolls-Royce's second-largest market.
The new Ghost isn't the only option for wealthy buyers at the show, however.
Maserati is showing off its new GranTurismo MC Stradale, saying that its Asian debut so soon after the global debut in March is indicative of China's growing importance to the Modena-based Italian luxury company.
Ferrari's new FF is also on show, as the Lamborghini Aventador, which was also released last month at the Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland.
Auto Shanghai runs April 21-28 in Shanghai, China.
