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.

Graf, the No 2 seed, beat Gabriela Sabatini 6-3, 6-3. Seles, the No 1 seed, had a much tougher game against Martina Navratilova, Seles eventually winning 6-2, 6-7, 6-4.
Seles's grunting again became an issue and on two occasions Fran McDowell, the umpire, asked her to keep the noise down. Navratilova said afterwards she found it off-putting but admitted: 'I think she would have beaten me even without the grunt.'
Andre Agassi beat the three-time champion Boris Becker in a resumption of a men's singles quarter-final and in today's semi-final he will meet his fellow American John McEnroe, who beat Guy Forget in another resumed quarter-final.
