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.

Anne-Marie Hunt and Gordon Wilson, of Livingston, were just settling down on Tuesday before the little one’s January 2 due date, when she thought to make an early arrival.
Born 6lbs 7oz at 5.16am in St John’s Hospital in Livingston, the pair are yet to decide on a name.
Elsewhere, Alyshia Glen of Bellshill and her partner Daniel McGhee met their daughter for the first time at 1.35am on Christmas Day.
The little one weighed in at 8lbs 6oz at University Hospital Wishaw.
Just minutes later at the Princess Royal Maternity Hospital in Glasgow, Emma McLaughlin gave birth to her daughter Kiara Rose at 1.48am.
Kiara tipped the scales at 8lbs 6oz.
While Katarzyna Wojcik delivered her own little girl a few hours later at 4.16am at a weight of 6lbs 5oz.
The bundle of joy’s father is Krisztian Poth.
Lauren Breach also welcomed baby Ollie, weighing just shy of 8lbs, at 7.49am at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley.
