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 are celebrating Kenyans who promote animal welfare and environmental conservation as their state visit to the African nation continues.
The trust is renowned for its efforts in rescuing and rehabilitating elephants through its orphanage, located within Nairobi National Park, and it has successfully raised 316 orphans.
Charles will join his wife for the final part of the visit and as the couple leave the park they will visit the attraction’s ivory burning site, a historic location where 12 tonnes of ivory were burnt by the former Kenyan president Daniel Arap Moi in 1989.
During the day, the Queen, who is president of the equine welfare charity Brooke, will hear how the organisation is working with the Kenya Society for the Protection and Care of Animals to rescue donkeys at risk, and tour a centre caring for abused donkeys.
Meanwhile, the King will visit Karura urban forest to highlight the importance of green spaces in sustainable cities, and to honour the legacy of Nobel Peace Prize winner Professor Wangari Maathai, who ran a campaign to save the forest.
