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.

A Welsh county council apologised yesterday after sending out a calendar to 15,000 people with St David's Day listed on the wrong date.
All council tenants in Cardiff received a copy of the county council's tenants' annual report 2002, which included the free calendar.
But the feast of the patron saint of Wales was listed as 10 March instead of 1 March. A council spokesman said it was a typographical error and apologised for the mistake.
"Despite the best efforts of the people involved with producing publications, errors do occasionally slip through the net," he said.
"It would be a shame to focus upon this error and not upon the rest of this well-produced publication. We are sure people will not be misled into thinking the traditional date of St David's Day has changed."
Last year's annual report was shortlisted for an award.
The spokesman said: "This year's is to the same style and without that mistake would be to the same standard."
