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.

IN AN article on 15 March, 'Cramped students to advertise plight', we reported that two philosophy lecturers at University College, Swansea, were on leave of absence following allegations they had made about the low academic standards of an MA course. We have been asked to make clear that an independent investigation has found that the allegations made by the two lecturers were substantially justified and that they have been suspended from their positions on full pay pending resolution of the College's dispute with them.
We also quoted Professor Clarkson, the College principal, as saying that the two lecturers assisted students in their occupation of the College Registry. The principal has subsequently acknowledged that he drew the wrong inference from their presence at the student meeting and that neither lecturer assisted the students in such occupation (Letters, 29 March).
