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.

Its shares surged 77.5 per cent to 35.5p on the arrival of Barry Dale, former chief executive of Littlewoods, as chairman. He paid 41.07p each for 607,000 shares from former chairman John Carr.
Hercules Property Services is riding at a 275p high. There is talk of a reverse takeover with Whinney Mackay Lewis, a firm of architects, the target. The shares are 28p against 45p three years ago.
Robert H Lowe, the packaging and sportswear group, bumps along near its year's low at 22p. Year's figures next month should top pounds 4m against pounds 2.4m. The group is likely to reap rich rewards from the World Cup.
