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.

One soldier died following the no-warning IRA double bomb attack at Thiepval barracks in Lisburn, Co Antrim, on 7 October. More than 30 others, many of them civilians, were injured when two car bombs went off within minutes of each other after being driven through the "pass-holders only" entrance at the barracks.
Irish gardai yesterday seized grenades and bomb-making equipment on a remote farm in Co Louth near the border with Northern Ireland. The find - the second important one this week - was made close to where IRA mortars of the type used in the 1994 Heathrow airport attack were discovered last month.
