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.

A survey of 1,500 parents revealed nine out of 10 were planning to reward their children for good grades - despite the fact only 27 per cent of them were rewarded themselves when they took their exams at school.
The rewards go right down the results scale with parents handing out £55.03 on average for an F grade - suggesting they value effort as well as attainment.
In terms of presents, it adds, mums were more likely to reward their children by taking them out for a meal - while dads would opt for a technology-based gift.
The survey was carried out by Currys PC World.
