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 group, which recently received the go-ahead from Brussels for its pounds 380m merger with the Swedish packaging group PLM, has sold over 20 businesses in the past two years.
Shares in Rexam yesterday closed down 2p at 202.5p after it reported a slight fall in pre-tax profits before goodwill and exceptionals from pounds 190m to pounds 186m last year.
