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 royal couple will attend a ceremony at the town hall and later visit a British warship, the HMS Iron Duke, docked in the city.
They will be accompanied by French defence minister Sebastien Lecornu.
Afterwards, Charles and Camilla will attend a ceremony in the square in front of the old stock exchange.
His Majesty, a keen environmentalist, will also visit a sustainable vineyard in Bordeaux with the Queen.
The city is famous for its wine; it is also home to around 39,000 Britons and is twinned with Bristol.
As he became the first British monarch to address the French senate on Thursday, the King spoke of the “shared link” between the two cities as one of a “countless number of connections” between the UK and France.
