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.

Anna Chudy, 35, is believed to have left Northwick Park Hospital in Harrow, north-west London, with a man on Friday morning.
She had given birth to a baby son by caesarean section just before 4am on Thursday.
Police have released images of Ms Chudy and the man in a bid to trace the new mother and ensure she is safe.
The man, who is seen leaving the accident and emergency department separately to Ms Chudy, is described as white, tall with an athletic build and short hair.
He was wearing a black leather jacket with patches on the elbows and dark trousers, police said.
In a statement the Met Police said: "Officers are concerned for her welfare and are keen to trace her to ensure she is safe and well."
