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.

Ms Allwood, 31, was questioned by officers in Solihull, West Midlands, about alleged fraud offences understood to relate to a loan.
She was interviewed by local fraud-squad officers in Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, a week ago and bailed to report back to Solihull police station on 7 February. Ms Allwood had continued with her multiple pregnancy despite some medical opinion that it would be safer to abort some of the foetuses. She miscarried them all at 19 weeks in October.
