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.

Matthew's father, Philip Draper, 35, and other players watched in amazement as his ball sailed down the fairway of the fourth hole at Cherwell Edge miniature golf course, at Banbury, before rolling straight into the hole. Mr Draper said: "I knew he had hit it well but I never thought it would go all the way."
Matthew, whose hero is Nick Faldo, said: "It was good. I put my arms out and went `Yeah'."
