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.

Margaret Brooks, of English Heritage, who made the find in one of her last days in the job, said: "I couldn't believe it when I first spotted the delicate green glass of the bowl. It was thrilling to tease it gradually from its hiding place in one piece and be able to hold it." The site was being dug by Tony Robinson, the TV presenter, and his "Time Team" from Channel 4 after an metal-detecting enthusiast found a Byzantine bucket near by.
