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.

Around 700,000 spectators and participants are expected for the annual parade, known locally as Marche des Fiertés LGBTQ, which is the biggest in France.
This year, it will be a little different to normal, as it will go ahead without the traditional floats, which organisers say is an effort to engage in “eco-responsibility and decarbonisation work”.
“Without float does not mean without sound: many orchestras on foot will take place in the procession to ensure the atmosphere,” the parade’s official website wrote, confirming the decision.
The parade will leave the Place de la Nation at 2pm, marching through the streets of Paris until they reach the Place de la République.
Demonstrators will also observe three minutes of silence in tribute to the victims of HIV and aids later in the day.
