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 annual celebration on March 17 is in honour of Ireland's patron saint, Saint Patrick.
The search engine giant celebrated the holiday with an animated Google Doodle featuring six Irish stepdancers performing the traditional jig. Each of the figures also beared the six letters making up Google's name.
The Irish have observed this day as a religious holiday for over 1,000 years.
As usual, in celebration of the Celtic saint's day, fans will be dressing in as much green as they can lay their hands on.
This year, in celebration of St Patrick's Day, more than 40 international landmarks are being lit in green. From the pyramids and the Leaning Tower of Pisa, to the Sydney Opera House and South Africa's Table Mountain: some of the most recognised man-made and geographical attractions will join a host of British landmarks to "go green".
