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.

Aon Corporation, the US insurance giant that operates in the UK, may make a counter-bid for UK insurance brokers Willis Corroon, topping the pounds 851m offer from KKR last month. KKR has already received acceptances from almost 20 per cent of Willis Corroon shareholders and stands to gain a fee of pounds 8m from Willis if it accepts a higher offer. Willis could also be sued by a US fund manager Royce & Associates which claims that the KKR bid under-values the company.
