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 FTSE 100 closed up 14.4 points, or 0.23 per cent, at 6,383.9, having been as high as 6,434.4. Losses on Wall Street, where the Dow fell 49 points by the close of the UK market, added to London's cautious mood.
BP Amoco - the market's biggest stock with a weighting of 9.2 per cent - dropped 4.2 per cent, wiping some 25 points off the index.
