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 ceremony, which recognises artistic and technical achievements in Asian cinema, is taking place at the Hong Kong Palace Museum.
Films from 22 regions have received 81 nominations and are hopeful to bag one of the 16 awards being presented.
The Asian Film Awards was launched in 2007, and will be honouring winners of categories including Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Actress.
Tony Leung Chiu-wai is set to receive the special Asian Film Contribution Award at the ceremony today.
The AFAA said he “used his meticulous understanding of stories and characters to create countless memorable characters in many classic films.”
While film is what brought everyone to the Hong Kong Palace Museum, the looks on the red carpet will, of course, temporarily steal the show.
