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.

CAROLINE CORNELL yesterday became the first government communication headquarters (GCHQ) delegate at the TUC conference for 15 years. She told delegates: "It has finally been recognised that staff at GCHQ have no conflict of loyalties. We can do a sensitive job on behalf of this country and still be active members of a national trade union. Individual employment rights ... have now been restored." Unions were banned from the Cheltenham centre after the then Tory government alleged intelligence work had been disrupted by industrial action.
