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.

Prince William was present for the birth and the crowds of well-wishers outside cheered and clapped as the news was announced.
The little princess has not yet been named but the current bookmakers’ favourites are Charlotte and Alice.
Her birth is being marked across the country, including with a message on the BT Tower and pink lights on Westminster landmarks later tonight.
Royal Mail is putting a special postmark on millions of letters and parcels being delivered after the bank holiday, reading: “Congratulations TRH The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on the birth of their daughter”.
