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.

Jonathan and Emma Gray, from Halifax, West Yorkshire, were found injured on Saturday by the side of a road at the Kuredu Island Resort and Spa, where they were staying. Mr Gray was in his twenties and his new wife was 25.
A third person was also injured in the crash and was in hospital last night. The Maldives Police Service said officers were investigating what happened. A manager at the Kuredu resort refused to comment while the police investigation was ongoing.
The Foreign Office in London said: "We are providing consular assistance and liaising with both the police and the local authorities."
