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 DISTRICT auditor is to appeal against the quashing of a pounds 27m surcharge imposed on the former Westminster City Council leader Dame Shirley Porter and her deputy, David Weeks. John Magill is to mount a Lords challenge against a Court of Appeal ruling setting aside the surcharge, levied for a policy of promoting council homes in selected wards, which he said was "gerrymandering".
