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.

Pre-tax profits were up 28 per cent to a record pounds 17.7m on sales of pounds 54m. The dividend is 38p (29.5p).
Euromoney, which is 75 per cent owned by Daily Mail and General Trust, owns 48 magazines, including its flagship title Euromoney, as well as interests in books, conferences and training courses.
It has made 33 acquisitions in the past four years at a cost of pounds 14m and expects to spend another pounds 18m on increasing those stakes over the next two years.
Training was the most improved sector over the year, with pre-tax profits doubling to pounds 2.7m. This includes a three-month contribution from DC Gardner, the training company Euromoney bought for pounds 3.7 at the end of June.
Richard Ensor, managing director, said the acquisition should improve the figures considerably over the coming year.
International financial publishing was the biggest earner, contributing pounds 9.5m.
The performance of the aviation and leasing publications continued to be depressed by the recession in the airline business.
