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.

PUBLIC HOSTILITY in the UK to the single currency has not been dented by the Government's National Changeover Plan. The monthly survey of opinion by Salomon Smith Barney, the investment bank, and MORI found that the balance opposed to Britain joining EMU has edged up from 18 per cent to 20 per cent, with 32 per cent in favour and 52 per cent against.
Asked how they would vote if the Government strongly urged joining, the balance against was 12 per cent, up from 8 per cent the previous month. The poll was carried out over a period starting two days after the Prime Minister announced his "change of gear" on UK membership.
