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.

Holidays in 1993 may be cheaper than this year as a price war looms between tour operators. The fall in the value of the American dollar, reducing the cost of fuel, is a big factor in the equation that allows for the price drop in the latest 1993 brochures.
Britain's biggest tour operator, Thomson, has yet to publish its brochures, but expectations are high for budget buys.
Owners Abroad, one of the big three holiday firms, said that for certain programmes it was offering holidays for less than 1992 prices by cutting overheads and improving contract deals.
Falcon, part of Owners Abroad, has slashed its Florida prices - a family of four could save 500 on a two-week holiday compared to this year. Next Island, which offers holidays in Greece, Cyprus, Thailand, Egypt and Turkey, said thousands of its packages were cheaper than those of 1992.
