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 start of the event was delayed by 30 minutes due to high winds forecast, and inflatable cartoon characters were no longer able to be used, event spokesman Dan Kirkby said.
The route this year saw the parade start at Piccadilly outside The Ritz. It then headed east to Piccadilly Circus before going down Regent Street St James’s.
The procession then turned left down Pall Mall and past Trafalgar Square. The parade finished at Whitehall at around 4pm.
Singer Peter Andre headlined the parade this year. Other acts performing included the motorcycle display team Moto-Stunts International and the London Chinatown Chinese Association.
