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.

Anthony Jean Francis Bourgois, of no fixed address, appeared before Oxford magistrates where he was also charged with threatening to kill her, rob her car, and possessing two knives and a scalpel without lawful excuse.
Suzy Lamplugh disappeared in 1986 after leaving the estate agent's office where she worked with a man posing as a prospective buyer, calling himself Mr Kipper.
