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.

In March its shares crashed on a warning that profits in the year to the end of April were unlikely to exceed pounds 3m. The actual result was pounds 3.1m against pounds 4.3m in 1993. The total dividend as forecast was cut to 5.3p from 8.15p.
Michael Greelees, joint chairman, expressed confidence that postponed campaigns in the US - the reason for the profits warning - would come through this year. He pointed to significant client gains in the past year, including Do-It-All, GM credit card and Pizzaland in London and Coors' Arctic Ice beer, Shoneys restaurants and the Bahamas Tourist Board in the US.
UK revenue was up 3.1 per cent and US revenue up 7.9 per cent in dollar terms, nearly all from new business.
