Your support helps us to tell the story
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.

The week of programmes - featuring Irish commentators and writers under the theme The Long War - also includes Mary Holland's award-winning 1979 documentary from the Catholic Creggan Estate in Derry, along with a new film about the Protestant Shankill.
Brian Keenan, the former hostage, talks to nine people about how the troubles have affected their lives and Loved Ones will present portraits of 26 people who have died. Peter Salmon, controller of factual programmes, said the aim was to show the people behind the statistics.
